Replacing the NONEXISTENT shifter bushings in my '75 teener and have read and re-read the Pelican article. I have removed the rear tapered screw but was unsuccessful in removing the shift head from the shifter bar in the rear. I wanted to check here before I moved to a bit more persuasion. If they put a cone screw there, I assume that means it separates.... Should just tap off the end of the shift rod with the cone screw removed, right?

Well, that wasn't so bad.... It actually slid right off with a few light strokes with a hammer. I can't believe it--I actually had NO bushings left anywhere. Firewall bushing.... gone. Ball cup bushing... gone. Coupler bushings? Came tumbling down when I removed the rubber boot. They're all refreshed now, tho.

One last question. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but I jumped in last night expecting to feel buttery-smooth shifting, and the shifter seems to be binding up pretty good. I'm certain I got the ball cup bushing seated properly (after not having seated it properly three times) and the coupler was smooth as silk. Any thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
