Thumbs up Wevo Short Shift Kit Installation Continued



The bolt has now been removed exposing the larger of the two bushings between the shifter and the white nylon T-shaped coupler. Also, not the clip mentioned in the previous slide.



Here is the backside of the old shifter bushing awaiting removal. Pry it out with a small screwdriver. If your is like mine, it will be stiff with age and will break apart as you attempt to remove it.

Also note the debris from the old cloth shifter rod cover. Thoroughly clean the casting prior to reassembly.



Now the reassembly begins! Clean the white nylon T-shaped coupler. The smaller of the two round bushings from the new kit will be installed into the groove shown here.



Apply a small amount of wheel bearing grease to the groove and then press the little bushing into the groove.



Turn the casting upside down on your bench and install the new shifter rod bushing using a small amount of wheel bearing grease to lubricate the hole into which the bushing is pressed. Note the orientation of this bushing. It should be facing up on your bench so that it will be facing down when you install it in the car. This will allow room for the shifter rod to go into the hole in the bushing.



Reinstall the white nylon T-shaped coupler into the casting with a small amount of grease on each side. Here the retaining pin is ready to be passed through the white part and the clip is ready to be placed on the other end of the pin.



The pin has been reinstalled and the retaining clip is in place and properly positioned. Note that all of the excess grease has been cleaned as well.
