Hi all,
Does anybody know what this "pocket" in the right rear of the front trunk lid is/was for? Also, are there any tips or tricks I should know about putting a stainless sleeve on the worn part of the shifter rod? I presume that it's a machine shop job and has to be shrunk on? Thanks for both.   |

@Archie :
My shift rod looks the same. Powder coating worn off and maybe some metal, too. I wouldn´t worry too much, unless it is really out of round. Get someone with a lathe to machine a new Nylon bushing that fits snug. Job done. Some clearance seems to be necessary anyways. I replaced all bushings on my tailshifter with good-fit selfmade ones. Huge difference in shifting! No need to convert to side shifter. The bushing in the rear firewall is somewhat a pita to get in (cut grooves like a crown to be able to press it in). Well worth the effort.
