Well, last week I rebuilt the pedal cluster and put in a new clutch cable. Car was still up on jack stands doing brake stuff...but it sure seemed smooth on the stands.
Today I drilled out my "rounded" out hold pin on the shift lever by the tranny...took the entire assembly apart and put every stinking new bushing you can in the entire mechanism....in all it took about 3 hours to take it apart and put in the 5 new bushings. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! I didn't realize how good and easy these things should shift when everything is proper! Took it around the neighborhood (well, that is what I told the wife)...and came back an hour later with a smile on my face! Thanks all for the advice in here...using a vice and two sockets to press out the 2 bushings by the firewall piece....boiling the firewall bushing so you can just push it in with your fingers....and how to drill out that stripped pin. Jim (large smile still on face!) |

I just replaced all my old, and in some cases missing, bushings a few weeks ago. OMG, what a difference!!! Even my wife wouldn't miss any gears on this shifter! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Happy shifting!!! |
