Take a look at how it all works and it'll make sense.

AM. You can also make a better bushing by filling the stock one.

Yes No.

Much better than either the replacement OEMroute or the bolt, IMO. Rip it apart, clean and paint it. Then fill with PL/3M Polyurethane filling.

Around 6/tube. Aug 19, This is why you should replace shifter bushings. The white crescent shaped piece in the picture should actually be 1/2 of a 2 piece"circular" bushing for the shift rod. As you can see, not much of it was left after 50 years! The balance of the bushings disintegrated as i removed them.

Much better now especially with the help of this forum. Jun 26, Joined Jun 14. 32, Posts. #15 Jun 25, Encompass1 said: i had mine replaced this spring at a MB dealership because they quoted me a price ofeach (two req.) andlabor couldn't pass that up. that number. Oct 03, 1. Remove Shifter bezel.

If you have a console, you don't 'have' to remove the console to do this stumplop.buzz I did anyway just because I wanted to try out my standard shifter bezel. 2.

May 14, So i had Short Shift and the transmission bushing done 1 year ago with no problem, just today, i install the shifter base bushing, and can't even slot into 2nd gear, i can slot into 1, 3,4,5, and 6 no problem.

I have done the Shifter Cable adjustment, with the yellow tab slot into the line, still can't get it into 2nd. Checked the battery tray and i have enough clearance, so nothing is.
