I put a new factory coupler from our host in mine after breaking original trying to get the bushings out. Hint: don't try to press the rod out, I think dremeling would probably be best.

Note that the factory coupler has the same slop in the bushings that your "worn" coupler does. Aftermarket bushings remove this play. My garage is emphatic that "if you want to shorten the life of your tranny, go ahead and stiffen the joint with (insert other coupler here)." That said, with 220K on the car, I wouldn't mind better shifting for a trans rebuild down the road.

I think Bill Verburg made/found some beautiful brass bushings that I'd love to pick up.

How does a Wevo compare with a Stomski with a Fabcar, etc.?
