Shifter bushing

The only way that I have been able to install the shifter bushing is to ever so slightly, grind the "lip" down on the bushing until it will go into the shifter with pressure applied. With the bushing as is, and the limited space, quite frankly, there's no way in hell that you can get it in. I tried lubing it up, heating it up, vise grips and all other methods. Just did the grind technique last month on my 400E. Grind it, push it , then install the linkage from the "good side" of the bushing to push/keep the bushing from slipping/popping out. Next install the retaining clip
