pelican only had the plastic ones and it was gonna be more for shipping than for the part! Called GPR and they are sending it out today. Do these bushings stiffen up the shifter much and am i supposed to grease them at all? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

If you're talking about the bushing at the tranny end, I've been using one and it does the job.
Most of the time the mount back there is oblonged out due to the bar sagging and the plastic bushing moving back-and-forth, which happened to be my case. I purchased the bronze bushing from GPR (with c-clip) and JB Weld'd it in place, which makes for a much more solid mount. Fashionable? I'd recommend it over the plastic/Teflon bushing, if only because it'll last a whole lot longer. And yes, you should grease ALL your bushings, regardless of the "Teflon" claims. Attached image(s)

I didn't even know they had the brass bushings... Anyway, I replaced all of mine with the teflon ones except the u-joint on the rear shift rod.

Hey Roy...whydja JB weld it in...? ALL Bushings wear out and they eventually need replacement. With the C-clip it doesnt move.

Oh yes, it (still) does ... It's the hole on the rear tranny shifter mount that the rod passes through that gets ovaled out, especially when a worn rear bushing is left to bang up-down-'n-around back there. You stick a new (plastic) bushing back there and there's enough play to sabotage your efforts for clean shifting. That C-clip only retains the bushing, it doesn't center it. I wouldn't JB Weld a plastic bushing in there; the brass one is well worth it. |

no they didnt list it, so i called and he pulled it up right away. 26 plus shipping like $32. - alittle more than the $8.50 for the plastic one but.... I'll grease it and go! My tranny is not oblonged, never seen one that bad, my bushing is just alittle loose, trying to stiffen it up as much as possible.

I wish someone would have had these last year when I installed the tranny and engine... oh well, when the plastic wears out again, I'l get these...
do they have a early-late firewall converter bushing? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
