Ordered all new shift linkage bushings. The bushings for the coupling near firewall have me stumped. Does the rod need to be pressed out to install the bushings? Or...do I remove the old bushing and slip the new ones in from the outside?

The rod has to come out.
If it is a tail shift, I believe the rod can be pulled out the rear. If it is a side shift, the bar cannot be removed completely with the engine bar in the way. FOr that disconnect the bar on both ends and push it forward into the tunnel while you replace the bushing. Some have luck heating the bushing in bioling water and popping it in. That didnt work for me for whhatever reason so I used a carriage bolt and some large washers and sandwiched the bushing in place. That way you just tighten a nut and it pushed the bushing right in. |
