In an effort snug up my shifting, I bought a bushing kit from AA. I replaced the broken brass bushing at the rear and the ones in the shifter itself, in doing so, I find a U joint yoke looking connection just aft of the firewall that does NOT currently have anything looking like a bushing in it, should it? What would it look like? Best described as a U joint[Looking] with out the U joint bearing caps, loose so that it clangs against my header, does this sound right? Bob

There are other bushings in the shifter linkage. It's best to replace all at the same time.

Got a pic of what you're referring to?

The one connected to the rear shift rod (side shifter) should have a bushing in it (both sides).

Shift Coupler Bushing

I could take one but dont know how to load it up, next mess down shows the 2 bushing that go there, I got them from AA but had no idea where they went? Till now. Bob
