Hi,
OK, after 3 hours of trying I gave up for today. '74 2.0, shifter was loose, hitting R on the 1-2 shift. All of the bushings were shot, bought new ones from 914R, they looked super sturdy, very hard Nylon. Started with the one up front, Firewall bushing. Could not get it into the car. Started by heating them in boiling water. Tried pushing them in with: large screw driver Larger Screw Driver Socket (big) Long Pipe the OD being the size of the busing Pipe and a Hammer Pipe and a Bigger Hammer Boiled it each time to hopefully soften it up a bit. Good news is the bushing is still in good shape, man is that things strong. Any hints? Have a call into 914R, trying to get a jump on this with this post so I can drive the car this weekend! Thanks!
