I found these on Ebay for $49.99. Thinking of going this way and not having to mess with the shift coupler again. Has anybody tried these yet?

I installed these a month ago or so, and I can say that getting that pin out of the shift coupler housing was one of the more challenging things I've had to do. It had to be done, though, as the previous bushing had disintegrated completely. Getting that pin out required a lot of PB blaster, a lot of heat, and a big ol' cheater bar.
The tolerances are tight. One side went it relatively easily after putting it in the freezer for a few hours. The other required repeated light sanding of the coupler housing to get the bushing in (as per mfr's instructions). I believe it's in there pretty firmly and I hope I never have to do it again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |
