Title: Brass bushing shifter mod
Post by: greywolf27030 on April 06, 2019, 05:52:28 PM
I ordered brass shoulder bushings and shoulder screws to tune up my shifter.

McMaster-Carr   

6 10mm flanged shoulder bushings 6659K14 @ $2.50 ea.
1 10X35 shoulder screw 92981A325 @ $3.06
2 10x50 shoulder screw 92981A307 $3.44 ea.

The major modification is drilling or grinding the peened head off the shoulder rivet.  Be sure and clean out the tubes prior to trying to insert the bushings. I had to use one factory bushing because the brass one wouldn't go into the tube.  Also add a washer under the head of the long screws.  The factory bolt is 48mm long, but they aren't available.  The bolt into the transmission is a royal PITA and getting the Allen wrench into it is also.  The payoff is a tight shifter that gives snappy shifts and will last for a long time hopefully.

I did mine April of last year as I had posted under non-capri usable parts. It's still smooth and noise free.

I'm sure you will be happy.   ;D

I'm very happy.  Did you use the stock shoulder bolts and what did you do about the rivet?

Ground off the peened end of the rivet. I used a new non-shoulder bolt with locking nut.
