.....My rule is.......anything outside the boots or protective cover(don't lube) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) bushings lightly with, silicone or white lithium (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
and I've never had issues concerning this!!(decades) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

Thanks, Bob You don't say what year car or what kind of transmission... Tailshift cars are supposed to have a black plastic shroud around the linkage bits. Like most '70's plastic these didn't fare well with north American UV and ozone. They were also kinda fragile to start with, and held in place only by a rubber O-ring (that wasn't any more exposure-proof than the enclosure). They've been NLA for years, but you might have a look at the parts book to see what they once looked like. I always thought you might be able to make some kind of shield / bag out of a chamois or something. Those parts were originally greased, and the shroud kept the grease in and the grit out. |

Side shifter should have covers over all the moving/sliding bits.
There should be a rubber boot on the firewall bushing that covers the connector. There should be a large 4"x4"x2' black plastic cover that goes on the side shift mechanism. Buy them both, lube the bits that slide and don't worry about it. I hope that helps. |
