So waiting on the ignition switch to return so this weekend I had all the parts to go through the shifter. Put in all new bushings front to back and it does feel better and I seem to find all the gears. 4th/5th feel pretty stiff. And when I was under the car it looked like it's rubbing the exhaust.

So didn't have any volunteers to come out and run the gears while I watched underneath so couldn't be in two places at once. I did mark the rods when I disconnected them.

This is a tail shift so any tips, tricks, things to look for? Thanks again.

Ok so as above this appears to be the heater supply system not the exhaust. I scooted a bit further under and I see some screws on this piece. I'm guessing these will loosen and I can possibly shift this over to not be rubbing.

BTW. Not a fan of the slotted screws...especially on 40 year old cars. Even in the 70's these couldn't of been very efficient for the assembly plant. Guess I'll do some PB Blaster soaking prior to stripping them out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
