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)

Joe, Thanks. You are correct. As you stated, the universal joint is pinned to the rear rod, not the front rod. It slips on the front rod and is held by a tapered set screw.

When I wrote my earlier description I took a moment to look at the gearshift linkage illustration in the Haynes manual. I had even replaced the bushings in my universal joint not so long ago. And I still screwed up my instructions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thanks for the information.

I got that pin out, much as you described - and it came out unharmed. The front U joint and pin are now on my shiny new shift rod.

Thanks again Eric.
