[T3] Shift rod hanger

["Everett Barnes" <everettb@thesamba.com>]

Has anyone ever replaced the shift rod guide in the center tunnel?

Just looking for any helpful tips.

I have removed the rod, drilled out the 6 spot welds, and removed the old
guide.  Wow, what a pain to remove it.

The old guide was damaged and could not hold the bushing correctly.

Opinion on the replacement hangers available today?  Crap like most repro
parts or ?  I have an extra used hanger but quality new parts are always
nice.

Does the new guide need to be spot welded in or can I solder it with my
plumbing torch?

This is on a '63.
