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........ |

The brass bushing won't have anything to do with hot or cold car shifting differences.
But it does have an affect on clutch travel. and the oil in the transaxle is probably in need of changing. I added some lucas something to aid in old synchros shifting. it helped but then my tranaxle is getting a bit tired. so I figured what the hell. The rear shift bar should pivot exactly on the axis plane of each end. ( i'm sure I didn't say that right). so no side play is desired there. But the fact that the front of the front bar moves in a circle through all the gates there is some side play in the front section of the front bar. some of that will show up on the rear section of the front bar. |
