$26 sloppy shifter fix
#21
Question...
Anyone have a spec for the diameter of the shifter shaft? I swapped out my bushings and still have some play, just curious if there is a measure in a book somewhere for what it ought to be. Not that $18 is a lot to throw at it, just that if what I've got measures the same as new it'd still have slop.
Grin.
I go to autozone and rent a blind hole puller, and a bushing driver. Depending how stuck the bushings are, the outer one you can take a hack saw blade and hack down the line where the seam is in the old one. Once you've got a groove they pop out a bit easier. The inside one a bushing driver and a few swift smacks of a hammer tend to dislodge.
Thanks.
