Title: Source Gear shifter linkage Bushing
Post by: GermanXR2 on September 17, 2022, 11:33:12 AM

I need the 6 bushings "Gear shifter linkage bushing"........ I am desperate

Is there somewhere  a 3D file of the bearings avaliable to reprint, or a technical drawing with the dimensions?

In Germany the bushings are not available, at NAPA Online (ATM 0771303) I cannot select them as shipment, first 6pc. are available, on the next page it says "minimum quantity 12", these 12 are then also no longer available at the following next page (a circle). The service center dont want to help, they say got to shop.....

Any ideas?

Question to the guys who replace already, do you need the "Long Shifter Bolt"? My Merc hat only 41K miles.

Did someone knows the origin parts number of the bushings?

it looks that the Festiva is equal to the european Kia Pride and the european Mazda 121.

The front shift rod has a rivet that must be replaced when replacing the bushings. That's the reason for the new shoulder bolt. You're correct about the models that interchange. Fords, Mercurys, Mazdas and Kias from that vintage all use the same bushings.

Should i replace all bushings?

Or are certain bushings subject to more wear and tear as others?

I think the rear ones, directly under the gear stick, are the easiest to replace.

Two of them are easy because there is a shoulder bolt holding them together. The ones of the front are the ones with the rivet. Depending on mileage the ones in the front may be gone. On high mileage cars I've seen where they changed the easy ones and the front one wasn't even there.

yes, but we're talking (if original) 30 year old rubber. if there's any stress on those the second that brittle rubber gets some, it breaks.. so i don't think it's a miles thing as much as an age thing...
