re:shift rod bushing replace


Thanks Russ. I took the end piece off...you need a pair of pliers to squeeze
this rod, and then it slides out pretty easily. I took this end piece off
when I had the rod almost all the way out. I then replaced it while up
front, but was unable to slide the whole sift rod back in-it kept catching
on something or other.

So I pulled it back out, took the end piece off, reinserted-no problem. Then
attached the end piece from the underside rear access panel. Same spot as
the square bolt, with the hole in it.

I was able to get a 9mm wrench on this but not my 9mm socket(12pt v 6pt I
think?)

All back together-just the front cover plate-which I am painting as it is a
little rusty-probably from being near the master cylinder.

I can't wait to take it for a test drive-I remember my bus shifted much more
smoothly when I replaced this.
