I'm replacing the 2 rear bushings in my attempts to fix my shifting problems (4th gear goes into 2nd). I bought the bushings from Pelican Parts for my '76 side shifter.
When I slip the shift rod bushing over the rod, the rod is pretty loose. It's about 1/16ths smaller than the bushing. Any thoughts to why it's so loose? |

Patrick Motorsport has the one to buy. It is a very tight fight and has no slop. My shifting is very good now. I had bought a polybronze before I can't remember where but it was junk. PMS was about $35. you need to open up the hole in the tranny a little bit with a file. The shift rod was hard to install, but oh it shifts so nice I'd do it again.
