  • (1) Shift Lever End Bushing
  • (1) Shifter Pin
  • (1) Shifter Pin Clip

Description:
This kit has an upgrade over the stock side "hat" pin bushings by replacing them with solid brass. It includes all of the recommended components that should be replaced during the bushing upgrade (except for the transmission boot, see Related Items). Original plastic Shifter Pin Bushings are known for wearing out and causing sloppy shifter movement. Once installed, you will notice a firmer feel of your shifter. Adding high-end bearing grease recommended for the longest life.

Note:
If you painted or powder coated your shift lever, that coating may need to be removed from the pin area, as these bushings are a very precise fit. Ensure that your lever is completely free of any rust or debris prior to installation. Please call if you have any questions.

Original Transmission Lever Type:
These bushings will only fit in 72-81 "B-Style" transmission shift levers. B-Style transmissions have a horizontal pin that holds the lever in place and uses a pair of cylindrical nylon bushings (which this kit replaces). If your transmission uses vertically mounted rubber bushings (70-71 A-Style), or if your shift lever has a rectangular bushing hole with a dampener spring (factory 82-83 N/T B-Style), this kit will not work. Likewise, if the transmission and lever in your 70-71 model matches the 72-81 B-Style description, then this bushing kit will work. Please give us a call at (714)639-2620 if you aren't sure which transmission type you have prior to ordering.

Shift Boot Note:
This kit does not include a replacement Transmission Shift Boot. If you have not previously replaced either the shifter pin bushings or the rubber boot at the base of the shift lever, we strongly recommend purchasing a replacement (see Related Items). The Transmission Shift Boot keeps the dirt and grime out of the shifter area, which is the most common cause of wear to shifter bushings.
