Finally invested in a Renn shifter, and hopefully will put to bed all those shifting woes once and for all!!
Not that my mechanic doesn't know what he is doing, but are there any off the wall issues that might be good to know before we start the project?? I have all new bushings otherwise. |

My Renn shift install worked out great. Reverse lock out performs perfectly. I did install all new bushings which was a big factor in tightening up any slop aft of the shifter. I ran into a problem at the trans console, the hole for the stock sized bushing there was way bigger than the bushing, and the shift rod was very loose on the new bushing. Solved that with a custom machined nylon bushing and a couple of nylon ties to keep the new bushing tight in the oval trans console hole. There are other ways to address this issue as someone makes a brass bushing for that area. I don't favor that route because if the nylon bushing wore the hole into an oval, imagine what a brass one will do. Maybe if it is good and tight, allowing no movement in the trans console it will work well. I did post some pics of my fix in a thread back in say 07/08. The size difference in the custom bushing compared to the stock sized one is eye opening.
