I have a Porsche 550 replica with a 914 side-shift setup. Sloppy shifting is my woe.

I got a new ball cup bushing to insert into the shift rod coupler/head. The pelican parts tutorial states that it is really tough to get the bushing in there. My new bushing, though, is so loose that it falls out, it's definitely swimming in the shift rod coupler.

Is this normal, or is the shift rod coupler worn out?
