kudd Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Does anybody have any hints for replacing the shifting linkage bushings in a ‘90 Legacy? We just did one and had a helluva time getting the bolt back through. I’ve got another one to do and am pretty sure there must be a trick to it...which I’d truly love to know before I start! I did a search but couldn't find much about it. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Did you get to that thread when you did your search? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7925&highlight=linkage+bushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudd Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 Nope... didn't help. The bushings I need to replace are gotten at from underneath. The bolt that slides through them has to slide over the drive shaft cone, so it's at an angle which makes it very hard to slide back in once the new bushings are in place. I'm wondering if people drop the drive shaft or what? We ended up grinding part of the bolt head and the collar part of the bolt off to get it back in...with two of us prying and wacking and... Thx!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudd Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 My local indy shop stocks the bushings, which makes me think it must be common. Must be most people running automatics so they don't have to deal with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
