corksport shifter bushings / problems
Well I can't for the life of me figure out why my shifter linkage is hitting the tranny mount bolt after doing new bushings. Any suggestions?

Re: corksport shifter bushings / problems
Flip the nut/bolt to opposite sides?
The clearance is minimal down there, I had a very hard time when I had to replace the bolt with a stainless one... Had to grind the bolt head down to clear.

Re: corksport shifter bushings / problems
Is that really what it is? I thought it normally had more clearance, but I all of my oem bushings were missing in the linkage so thats probably why I didn't notice.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: corksport shifter bushings / problems
Yeah, sourcing a replacement was a colossal pain in the a--.
I ended up finding a bolt that was close(ish), and reducing the profile on all sides until it fit snugly... Makes for increased vibration, but I have almost zero shifter play now.

Re: corksport shifter bushings / problems
Had nothing to do with the tranny mount bolt. I had the linkage rod between shifter and tranny flipped. Plenty of clearance now!
