Going thru replacing the busings etc of shift linkage on 75. Installed firewall, shift rod, ball cup bushings. Have a new pilot bearing and trying to get up the nerve to put it in. Sounds easy in the Haynes book.
When ordering the parts , I just checked all I saw in the bushings section. Received one IDed as Pivot Bushing. Where does it go? Only pivot I can think of is where the release bearing lever fits to the housing.

That's where it goes. Also, check your motor and transmission mounts as they also affect the shifting.

Good luck on your project.

If ya gonna pull the tranny to do a pilot bearing , might as well do the flywheel seals and the trans input shaft seals , and that piviot bushing also . When you're done , you'll know that all is good for a long time, oh yeah might as well do the release bearing while in there , and there is the ..................

I just replaced the bushings in the coupling at the firewall where the where the shift rods connect along with the tapper screw. I had forgotten about it when changing all my other bushings and was caught by surprised when they fell apart into small pieces after 35 yrs. and I had no shifting whatsoever. I bought everything from AutoAtlanta. What part of Texas do you live? I'm in League City, south of Houston. Mike
