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?

Use a piece of pipe or tubing that will fit over the pin and set it in a vise. Using a drift sized slightly smaller than the pin, press the pin through. Be VERY sure that the vise jaws are on the pipe tubing AND the drift (I used a bolt slightly smaller than the pin) and NOT on the coupler itself. The vise jaws press the bolt into the pin, pushing it out through the hole in the pipe tube. I reversed the process with a few modifications to press in the pin with the new bushing. Here's a pic of my removal setup:
