G50 Shifter Kit - What is the small o-ring for?
Hello,
I replaced the ball socket bushing on my G50 shifter ('88 Carrera) 500 miles ago, and I should have replaced the shift rod bushing at the same time because now it has disintegrated.  Oh well.Anyway, I ordered a new bushing along with the 2 o-rings shown in the kit. I don't understand where the small o-ring goes, though. The exploded view seems to indicate that it fits underneath the head of the pin at the bottom of the shifter. But I don't see an existing one there on my shifter (which is out of the car now). Anyone, BTDT that can help me out? Thanks, Bill |

Just in case someone comes across this in a search... Mystery solved. There's a recess in the material (plastic?) through which the pin extends. The o-ring sits in this recess.
It is on the side where the head of the pin resides which was on the left for me. I don't know if it matters which direction the pin is installed. I'm planning on installing it the same way I found it. :-) |
