Thanks Skippy. I thought about opening it up, but then that little voice crept into the back of my head and reminded me of all those other "little jobs" I didn't really need to do that turned into big headaches.

The shift bushing look surprisingly good, perhaps the only rubber parts on this car that aren't falling apart.
