movement between shift rod and shift rod head
I'm trying to diagnose a linkage problem. When I shift from 1st to 2nd, the ball cup bushing pops of the the shift rod head (shift rod joint). I renewed the ball cup bushing and checked the shift rod bushing -- it's OK. The end of the shift rod slides into the shift rod head, but appears to be either cracked or bent.
Is this normal?
How much play is acceptable at this joint? I can move the shift joint up and down 1/2" without moving the shift rod.
Lastly, how much is a shift rod and where do I get one?
