Bushing wear and replacement
A shift rod bushing is a sleeve that lets the rod move smoothly while cushioning contact with its mount. Plastic bushings can soften, crack or take a set over time, which leaves play in the linkage. Play at the bushing is often felt as a loose or wandering shifter.
When replacing the bushing, check the rod for wear where it passes through, and inspect the mount for damage. Clean the bore before installing a new bushing so it seats evenly. Plastic parts can be sensitive to heat from nearby exhaust components, so keep the routing clear of hot surfaces. Shift linkage bolts and clips should be checked at the same time.
- Inspect the rod for wear at the bushing
- Clean the mount before fitting
- Check that the bushing is fully seated
- Look at the shifter for play after installation
