I think I read you warm it in hot water first, is this correct?

Do as Mark said (I've just done this)....move the shift rod in the tunnel forward until it drops into the tunnel (there is an access panel you can open on the top of the tunnel by the rear firewall to help guide it back in. Warm the bushing up in hot water (what I did)...position it...and give it a whack with a big rubber hammer...mine popped right in.
You'll be amazed at how well your car shifts if you are replacing all of the bushings! |
