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.

Thank you! I shouldn't concern myself with the aftermarket bonze bushings, then? |

As far as i know, there are no bronze bushings for the firewall. Only for the pedal cluster and the rear where the shift rod connects to the transmission console. All the firewall bushings i have seen were made of plastic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
