Shift rod bushing?
So after a clutch install I've begun to notice some play in the shift lever in every gear including neutral. Wondering what I should do, well I first looked at the perrin rear shift bushing and the whiteline insert, which seem like a good option, but I'm also looking to see if there is a bushing for the shift rod / linkage, seen in this pic below:

Whoever did your clutch left them out, but yes those are them there's also a washer and that o-ring that you will need

ok so I guess that oem parts are the only option?

Unless you want to upgrade to a short throw shifter Ya pretty much

you can throw some super thin washers in there, I know I got some from Kartboy here on the forums.
|
That would only help side to side but not front and back

Bumping. I need a guide for this. Like what size o-ring?

...Oooor you could take the thing to any decent machine shop with the bolt, and they can make a press-in solid bushing on a lathe. Forget all the rubber crap. Then put some grease between the bolt and the bushing and be done with it.

Maybe you go ahead and try that first, let us know the results! |
I'd go with delrin over brass, easier to machine and won't make noise if it has a tiny bit of play.

I was giving you advice on fixing yours, but I have never had a single problem with mine. I'm not in a hurry to spend unnecessary money, seeing how I have a massive pile of expensive and (arguably) equally unnecessary projects already. Quote:
