Re: little black "top hat" bushings

["Ken Buck" <phillyscca@enter.net>]

Those black bushings DO NOT go where the wieghted shifter rod with 
the two little clips are, that is where the bigger white bushings go.

The little black bushings go it two places, the first set goes under 
the shifter about half-way back the car, where the rod you hold on to 
goes through to the rod that runs forward.  There is a rubber booty 
over that connection with a solid plastic disk on the bottom.  Be 
careful to put things back together the way they came apart.

The second set of bushings go at the back of the tranny where the two 
shifter rods meet.  That little 90 degree pivot piece with the two 
balls on it?  That piece unbolts to show the two pieces of the 
bushing. 

I always grease these black bushings before I install them.

The soft rubber washers are meant to keep the grease in the shifter 
rod ends that snap over the balls, and also to keep dirt out of those 
connections.
