Side shifter linkage rebuild, Linkage rebuild with pictures and tips Options

Can anyone point me towards a thread that shows the entire procedure to rebuild, align, and adjust a side shifter linkage? Pictures and a parts diagram would be very helpful. Thanks!

This link will take you to info you will need to adjust at the end. The rest of it is taking out old parts and replacing them. Everything you need is available from vendors around here. Just ask where can I get “X”, good chance one of the vendors will lead you to that source. Side shift you have a small metal bushing where the shifter bolts to the rod inside the cab. It’s a pivot. Then the bushing at the firewall. After that is another pivot point where the first part of the rod meets the second rod in the engine compartment. That aluminum pivot can also be rebuilt, kit available. After that you have the bushing at the side shift console on the side of the trans. There is a plastic bushing, available new but also a nice metal bushing from a vendor here. Last is, and I’m going to use a picture, is a plastic cup that is inside the piece mounted on the end of the shifter rod. The pic I’m using is not a stock layout but it shows that piece with the cup inside. It is the cylindrical part, cast metal with that other part going into it. That has a ball and the cup. That’s all I can tell you, there is only one part of the system I didn’t modify. That is why I added this link, Dr Evil helps a guy that had converted get his shifting adjusted correctly. I’ll be using it. Good luck
