You have to slide the shift rod most of the way out of the tunnel.
Remove the disc in the front apron and the front tunnel plate on the pan.
Disconnect the shift rod coupler and shifter plate.
Slide the rod forward until the end is in the shifter hole in the cockpit.
Replace the bushing on the shifter plate (don't forget the wire clip), slide the rod back and reassemble. |

I thought I would share with you what I found when I replaced mine this weekend: -
Apparently one of the previous owner or their mechanics thought that there was a different way to quiet the rattling coming from the shifter....
I dug out over half a tub full of grease and a shop rag from the tunnel that I can only guess was put there in hopes of stopping the noise - it did not by the way!!!! |

I wonder how long that poor SOAB sat there with a grease gun pumping the tunnel full of grease :lol: :lol: |
