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 am contemplating a Spherical bearing that can be bolted/welded to the fire wall.
Got to remember there needs to be some axial movement of the front shift rod. |

I think the space may be too limiting. The distance from the shift coupling and the shifter bushing when the shift rod is forward needs to be measured. |
