I need the part and part number for a shifter bushing.

I had the place that replaced my slave and clutch 2 years ago tell me my shifter bushing is bad because of the sloppy shifting.

So does anyone know what part I need to solve the sloppy shifting issue?

 

Anyone?

 

You can get the factory parts or go with an aftermarket kit like this. The slop is usually caused by wear to the 2 plastic cup rings in the center of the picture. This is serviceable from the interior without dropping the transmission. Remove console, shifter, carpet/mat, access panel to get to the top of the trans.

While you've got it apart, the 3 rubber plugs for the shift rails should also be replaced because they have a nasty habit of falling out, dropping trans fluid and letting dirt/water in. Nothing good could come of that. Use new rubber plugs or get some metal replacements - Internet lore says that Dorman 555-108 plugs are a good fit.

 

Thanks Bob.

Is this something I can do in a hour or so?
