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.

I spoke with George at AA. He confirmed that the 3 bushings are the same part number and that I should get German made ones. I may do that but for now, I’m doing this hooptie fix using Nashua aluminum tape to build up the thickness of the rod. Now it is a tight fit and should last a while. My plans for the car involve moving to a side shift with Chris Foley’s shift rod kit so this is definitely a short term solution. The play at the rear is not attributed to wear on the rod as I have the same problem when moving the bushing past the wear area and on to the original painted surface.

BTW, the same bushings were used in the tunnel and fit nice and tight there.

Don’t make this part of your repair. Look for a lower mileage shift rod, plenty out there as many have switched over to side shift. When installed there will be pressure from the mount and you will put plenty of grease on it that’s why it has the boot. The most important part is the ball and key at the end, the wear there makes a lot of the tail shift slop. You could have the rod sand blasted and powder coated but that won’t make the key end any better. |
