Replaced Bush (ings)

Hey. Over the weekend I replaced all of my shifter bushings using Waynes book. For anyone who hasnt done this easy and cheap update, I highly recommend it. It will really improve your shifting dramatically. All I have to do now is tighten up the clutch cable. I need to take up slack from the pedal end, and I didnt feel like fighting the carpets anymore, so thats for next weekend.

I noticed that there were two different suggestions for aligning the coupler with the shifter. Wayne had one method and Bob Tindel has another. Anyone have some suggestions?

I did this yesterday with the brass bushings and found the method in the Bentley manual to be the easiest to follow.

Well, well worth the time.

When you say "all of the shifter bushings" did you do these parts as well?
