I'm replacing nylon shifter bushing, have question
I'm in the process of replacing my nylon shifter bushing and have a few questions that aren't covered in any of the previous post,(that I can find)
First, the part with the "C" clip, when I took mine out, the clip was facing the drivers side, in The Haynes manual it's facing the passanger side. Does it matter? Which way is correct? Second, the post I read talking about this procedure said I needed to reuse the "bushing retaining clip" mine had no kind of clip holding it in the metal piece that bolts down. Nor can I see on the new one where any kind of clip would go or why it would be needed. Once bolted in, it can't go anywhere. Am I missing/overlooking something? Third, Still feels kinda loose (have not completly reasembled and driven) The large black tube going from the shifter to the trans feels like where the play is coming from. Any thing to look at / fix in that area? A speedy reply is appreciated as it's currently apart in the garage @ 16:20 12/29/02

That is the instructions I'm using, but my question is about which way the rod faces, and if it matters. I did not see it covered in that post. Also anything else to look at as far as the other parts in there are concerned. The rod with the "C" clip looks good, not much "hourglass" wear.

I was refering to the brass bushing for the pin that sticks out of the side of the shifter.
As I said scroll down.

I don't think I need to do the brass tubing fix this time around. Minimal "hourglassing" on the pin, not much play in the area where it attaches.
I've scrolled all over that post and I don't see any reference to which side the pin is supposed to point towards. So I will do it the direction shown in the Haynes manual ( towards passenger side). No idea why mine was facing the drivers side. Perhaps switching it around every so often makes the pin wear more evenly??? Unlikely... One thing I did do was before removing the clip, I took a piece of aluminum foil, poked a hole in it,slid it over the shift lever. Kind of cheap insurance if the clip fell, it wouldn't fall into the black hole... Again the play seems to be at the trans end of the black connecting rod. With everything out, it moves several inches side to side. Oh well, should be better than before, .....will probably fall off tomorrow.

There is a lateral link in the back over the transmission, drivers side just behind the axle. The bolt for this sometimes comes loose. Will result in excessive side to side slop till the bolt falls out then no shifting.
As to the clip that goes on the end of the shift lever side pin; the little lip goes to the outside to clear the large washer that's supposed to be between it (the clip) and the short piece of tubing welded to the end of the long shift linkage.

I guess I'm not explaining my question very well. If you look in the Haynes manual pg 127 (fig. 4.8a) see how the end that has the "C" clip is facing the passengers side of the car? Mine was reversed, facing the drivers side. I put it back the way it shows here in the book.
Now for this other bolt you were talking about. Is this "shift rod intermediate lever" that they talk about on page 124/125 (fig 2.3)? Sorry for the confusion and all of the post about somthing thats been covered already. (I promise I did read all of the other posts before I started doing this repair)

That's it. Fig 2.3 page 124 top left.
Moves the push-puller to line up with 1-2 or 3-4 or 5-reverse. A worn pin on the shift lever does the same thing.
