Does the bushing have to be pressed in and out or can it be done with a hammer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I don't want to screw up the PERFECT shift rod that Eric Shea sent to me!

And THANK YOU again Eric. I'll post a picture when I get the bushing in and the rod installed.

Man, my car is really going to be fast with that power coated shift rod! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The ring in the firewall? Warm in in a cup of water in the microwave, then press it in by hand. If you get most of it in by hand, you can use a hammer to finish the job.

The front coupler is held on with what looks to me like a pin. This pin is what allows the coupler to rotate to the correct angle so that the coupler can slip on the rod that comes out of the fire wall. I need to get that pin out so I can put the front coupler on the new rod I have.

As to the rubber cover for the front, I don't think I've going to run it. Maybe I should as dirt isn't a good thing for shift mechanisms?

I will run the plastic box that covers the rear coupler.
