Does anyone know where to get the bushing that supports the shift rod at the transmission for a tail shift car? Apparently, it has a smaller inside diameter than the ones that go on the firewall and under the shifter. I looked on 914rubber, AA and Pelican and can’t seem to find it.

Of course, I can't find the order paperwork now that I offered, but I see you have a 'backyard fix'. I suspect there was wear on the rod, it appears that section in the first photo is shiny. As for trying it further down the shift rod, I believe it is slightly smaller diameter so that is not a good test. The last picture even appears to show it necked down a little past where you added the tape.
I will tell you from experience that the extra gap between the bushing and rod doesn't make that big of a difference; tail shifters are a bit loosey-goosey anyway. |
