Hola!
For a side shift transmission, how much if any day white should there be between the bushing in the shift rod where it meets the rear assembly? You can see daylight through this picture and Aiken feel a fair amount of play when I move the rod up or down or left or right. How snug should that be? Thanks gentlemen. |

Ideally, there should be no play, but as mentioned there is tapering of the shift rod end and wallowing out of the hole the bushing sits in. Epoxy works for holding the bushing in place, but my little cheap cheat is to thread part of a zip tie in there between the bushing and the housing. If the bushing pops out with this, then epoxy or bore and place of a oilite bushing is in order. For the rod, nothing short of adding material and turning it down, or cut old end off and weld on new end, will suffice. Depends on resources and level of skill.
The accordion cover and bowl cover are key to keeping grime out, which once inside acts as an abrasive to wear out the shaft. Most of us dont have the accordion, many dont have the bottom cover, either. |
