Just finished rebuilding the red ex-Turbo car’s Shift coupler using brass bushings and I have to say that I think these are going to be my default solution going forward. They can take a little bit of polishing to fit but once you do that it makes for a very tight and smooth couple of action and I found the difference in shift feel to be quite noticeable.
Worth a try if you’re thinking about doing his job soon. |

 I did use also the bronze bushing for the transmission console and sure it was a good upgrade. My only concern with it, it may worn out the long linkage rod and the pin of the coupler since it is grinding with 2 hard surface, compare to plastic. Easy to buy the bushings than the rod and the pin for the coupler. |
