I am going to replace the bushings at the firewall and on the transmission. Anyone know the best place to get them and is there a better type than the stock? My car is primarily an AX car.
Thanks |

When you're not trying to slide it over the rod to put it in place it does go in easy. If the rod isn't in the hole, then you have the room for the bushing to give. This way you're not trying to compress it between the shift rod and the firewall. I've done this on many 914's, and yes I was using the right bushing. Think about it, if the shift rod is taken out of the picture, the bushing will pop intp place with a light tap from a deadblow hammer.
