i am looking for a bushing that is a bit more robust than a stock bushing....
any one have any solutions..... i would love to tighten up my shifting and belive that cleaning up the play in the bar should do the trick.. is it posible to build a bushing out of lubricated brass and bolt it on? or is the side play in the shift bar a necessary thing? any ideas welcome........ |

I made the rear bushing out of brass for my car. It is held in place using a snap ring. No problems so far. The brass may wear faster. Time will tell. The opening for the bushing was worn so I was able to clean out the hole in the console and make a special bushing.
The firewall may be a different story. In the one I have which is worn the center is smaller than the outer edges. Contact is only about 1/4" of surface in the center of the bushing. I do not have a new one to compare with. The shifter needs some lateral movement. If I make the hole with straight sides, the shifter may bind a little. I will have to make it and see. I plan on making it out of Nylon 6 with Moly. It will also be held in place using a snap ring. Not sure when this will happen but within a couple of weeks... maybe. |
