What does that bushing do? The bushing is a bearing that locates the shift rod and allows it to slide and rotate easily, without rattling around. The bug part is the same as ours. > The shifter itself will not stay in the slot in the shift rod. what causes > that? Not sure. Sounds like you might not have all the parts in there right. Do you have a Bentley manual. There is a good exploded view in there. > lastly, there is on the shift rod a notch on the side where the shifter goes > in on the drivers side. ididnt notice it until i cleaned it off.it looks > like it is supposed to be there but i am unsure maybe it is just worn or it > is there for reverse. any help? I don't remember exactly what these parts look like, but there should be a pin sticking out of the shifter ball which fits in a slot somewhere. This keeps the shift lever from spinning freely. Does yours spin? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
