Pete:
Shifter bushings are easy to replace if you can get the car on a lift, harder if you have to crawl on the floor with the car on stands. Don't work on it with only a jack holding it up, please, very dangerous!!! The bushings go into the end of the shift lever and the end of the lever on the transmission. It is much easier to take the lever off than to work on it in the car -- no room. Just unclip the retainer and take off the linkage, then remove the pinch bold and pull the lever off the transmission. Lubricate the bushing (we used wheel bearing grease) and squeeze it into the hole -- the bushing has sides much larger than the hole. We used a vise with a socket behind the lever, but you can use a pair of large pliers if you are careful. You must lubricate it or it won't go in. Once the bushing is in, reassemble. Fairly obvious once you look. Make sure you put the bushing into the hole the linkage came out of -- some cars have "universal" levers that fit several applications! My parts source/mechanic replaces these all the time, they only seem to last about 12 years. Peter
