Loose Short Shifter easy fix

Post by Conrad17 »

Ok ok so its not a super important ordeal but my shifter had been rattling bad and i didnt have the money for the corksport bushings (30.00$) so instead i did this.

Go to lowes and buy 2 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4" plastic bushings, they were like a dollar

take em home drill out the center to 3/8" and shove em into the shifter. Tightened mine up completely and saved me 29 dollars


priceless :)

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.
