Also, perhaps coupler repair.
This is what mine looked like prior to repair.

Where did you order them? I assume I'd need a press to get them in, which I don't have, but I looked around and can't find them. Thanks.

Will do. Haven't had the opportunity yet but I figure while I'm doing one I should do the other.

I'm not at that point, so I'm curious as to whether that's representative of all bushing failures or just yours...

Seems like it.
Anything else I should do? Pelican mentions the reverse lockout spring as something to replace as long as the shift box is apart.
Thanks again.
