So, after purchasing the complete shift bushing kit from Pelican for my 73 sideshift, i read a post about bronze bushings and teflon too.
I got the kit already and was going to play over the weekend, but, which if any would be ideal to use a better bushing on? I dont want to buy all new stuff, but if there was one bushing that would be the weakest link????? experiences speak now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |

The one that goes through the side shift console at the transaxle.
I used a piece of galvanized pipe nipple. 1/2" inside diameter. with two electrical conduit nuts to secure it. Also put a grease fitting in it and give it a shot every now and then. Ask Fred Hurst how fast I can shift 1-2.... hardly lift the gas pedal. |

Look at it this way: The nylon ones you are replacing now are probably the 30+ yr old originals. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) So, you should only worry about using the nylon replacements you have if having to do it again in 30 yrs it just too damn often.
