[famoroso]

I have an '88 cab with 59k miles, and new shifter bushings in the last 6k miles. The shifting is sublime. Every shift is satisfying and makes me smile.

A year ago, I acquired an '87 coupe that was in need of new shifter bushings. I opted for a Rennshift, all new bushings, including a new white nylon T-shaped coupler and the Rennshift PSJ mod (hard plastic piece that replaces the factory rubber on the coupler between the shift rod and the transmission). It's a lovely setup, especially for the coupe with more sporting intentions than my cab.

In addition to marking my transmission tunnel with a sharpie, I placed neodymium magnets around the perimeter of the cast housing to act as a precision guide for the cast housing upon reinstallation.

I also disconnected the shift rod at the rear coupler (as part of transmission coupler install) and that made the cast housing removal and subsequent reinstallation EASY.
