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 pin in the universal joint at the firewall is an interference fit into the forward shift rod. Here is one method for removal. Remove the rearward shift rod from the joint(loosen the setscrews), then remove the forward shift rod by unbolting at the shift lever in the car. Take a block of wood and drill a hole slightly larger in diameter than the pin's diameter and about as deep as the length of the pin. Place the shift rod and universal joint casing on its side over this hole and using a drift gently tap the pin out of the shift rod. Don't be too rough or you'll break the joint casting, which means a new joint. Once the pin is out, clean everything and put in new bushings. Place on the shift rod and drive the pin back in, gently. You should be good to go.
