1986 930 - Won't go into reverse

Hello folks, long time first time post/problem - Recently came home and car won't go into reverse and the shifter felt pretty sloppy so after much reading and searches I took the counsel out (thanks to many learning here) and found this broken bushing, would this prevent me from finding reverse? Otherwise car shifts OK in the other 4.

Also from many threads here and pics I noticed there is nothing in the cradle in my shift box like I see from some other pics?

Appreciate any help!

1986 930 4 speed

Tnx Paul

Hi Paul - take a look at the link below, it should help you troubleshoot. Which bushing are you referring to? Are you able to post a photo?

Shift box pic with nothing in the cradle...

Thanks have read through that thread and probably 2 hours more of reading, just not sure about why I can't get into reverse.

Yes that bushing forces the sideways movement of the shifter to become rotational movement. Without the bushing in place, the main shift tube can't sufficiently rotate the transmission shift shaft at the coupler.

Thank you KTL!!

Will get some parts ordered. Saw various bushings (mind is numb) and there were different colored ones as well ones that looked OEM, any recommendation on a specific suggestion?

And I'm guessing I'll have to get an allen wrench in there to take the receiver head off, yes?

Sorry for the late reply. Yep that receiver cup on the end of the shifter tube has to come off. You may find that it's a bear to wiggle off the shaft because it's a pretty tight fit.

Regarding the colors (white, black, or blue) they're all going to be a tight fit. The bushing doesn't just easily pop into the bushing bracket. Read the reviews for the OEM white bushing

Thanks KTL, a big thanks! Ordered the part and after several hours got it all back together and now shifts as prescribed.

And for all, great forum and will carry on lurking...
