As is typical, I bought the full kit of replacement bushings for my 73 2.0 shift linkage last year, but this kit fell to the bottom of the list of projects. I am now ready to lay on my back for a Saturday.

I am motivated to do the bushings, but the sheet seemed a little light on directions.

I do better with pictures AND typewritten instructions, and my reading glasses!

I remember seeing someone, maybe Pelican, has a written description on how to replace the old black and white bushings, but I wondered, has anyone ever documented the steps to replace them in photos?

I think there are 4 or 5 parts that came in the box, but I am working from memory and the box is in the garage 2 stories down, and I am being lazy right about now on an early Friday evening.

Any suggestions, links or directions appreciated!

Thanks!

John

Super easy.. some tips would be good though...

Jack your car up high
Use jack stands
Don't strip the tear shaped / allen bolt - use penetrating oil if rusted and use a socket allen if you can.
The firewall bushing can be a bear but you can get it on fine.
Inspect the shift coupler
Look for rust and bends on the bar itself

Everything is straightforward.. have fun...
