Re: shift linkage bushing

I used oil impregnated bronze bushings from the hardware store. Measure the ID and OD and you should be able to find something that matches at Ace or Lowes. Better shifter feel too since they're solid.

Did you use a washer on each side of the bronze sleeve? The ones I just knocked out while removing the rods were metal and rusted to heck, not plastic maybe originals...
