Brass Gear Shift Bushes


Recommended Posts

There may be a cheaper way to get brass bushes if they are available where you are. See here: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html

 

I found I had to ream the holes in the shifter slightly to get the brass bushings to fit without being crushed on our 280z's. I think the results is better than with new stock nylon bushings.

 

The ZX has different bushings and I believe the early 240z's are different as well.

I put the bushings in the freezer, and heated the shifter rod to get an interference fit. I pressed them in with my vice (quickly), then ran the drill press through to open the ID up to fit the shifter pin. I bought the assorted kit for @ $4. It actually was a better deal than the 2 piece kit with the Dodge ones.
