Who was making replacement bushings for the shift rod and transmission housing on a side shift?
Like all the bushings from the firewall to the transmission. Someone was machining them out of bronze if I remember correctly. Did those work better? J West was selling a kit that had all this stuff and more - if I could find it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Or what is the best set up available now? |

I machined up a set way back out of tephlon bronze that included the firewall bushing and the cup bushings also. no oil needed.
Still works great IMHO. The firewall bushing was not to hard, make the bushing a little larger than the rod, and taper and round over both inner edges. I put a 1/2 to 5/8 inch flange on mine and bolted it to the firewall. There is alot of pivoting going on at that bushing that you want to eliminate and allow the pivoting to occur in the u-joint. it just takes away that much more play in the system. With a new bushing at the firewall and the setup Foley is selling, it should feel awesome. Ask Chris to make up new firewall bushings too, while he is in that shifter mood. He has the tools...and test cars... Rich |
