I need some help from you guys. I just replaced the Ball Cup, Both Coupler Bushings, Firewall Bushing and Shift Rod Bushing at transaxle (AKA Crown Bushing). Went on a test drive and everything is feeling much tighter and smoother-got into 5th Gear and it popped out. Tried several times and it continues to pop out-I don't want to keep on trying it in 5th and cause a problem or chip an tooth since it is not going in all the way. I didn't have any problems with popping out of any gears prior to replacing the bushings.
I've search the forum and haven't been able to find how to adjust the linkage. Thanks-Rick |

I had to file the hole out to fit this type of bush as the PO had sleeved the opening with a piece of steel tube and pressed it in.
If you have some movement in the bush add another washer under the surclip. Don't bother with the grease as the bushing is impregnated with oil,if you don't have the plastic cover the grease will attract road grime and wear the bush out,its not needed even if you have the cover. Great that you had a simple solution to what could have been a gearbox issue. |
