Overview
The Omix-ADA 16920.08 is a felt bushing for the clutch cross shaft on 4 cylinder Jeep and Willys vehicles built between 1941 and 1971. A bushing is a sleeve that a shaft turns inside, so this part is a wear point in the clutch linkage.

Signs of a worn bushing
A cross shaft bushing carries the load of a shaft that rotates inside a housing, so wear shows up as play in the clutch linkage. Felt bushings hold lubricant and absorb some vibration, but they break down over time when exposed to road grit and moisture. Before replacing one, inspect the shaft journal for scoring or a polished surface, since a worn shaft will wear a new bushing quickly.
Pedal feel is usually the first clue. A soft or uneven clutch pedal, a rattle from the linkage, or a clutch that is hard to fully disengage can all point to a worn cross shaft bushing. Check linkage travel with the engine off before deciding the bushing is the cause, because the clutch cable and pedal pivots can produce similar symptoms.
- Play at the cross shaft when the pedal is moved by hand
- Rattling or clunking from under the dash
- Grit or dry spots on the shaft surface
