amartin Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I have an oem parts list of my 5 spd shift system (2wd) and there are a bunch of bushings I would like to replace. Unfortunately, the dealer wants over $100 for 10 nylon bushings. Do you have any idea where I can get the dimensions of the bushings for a 1987 gl 5spd 2wd before I tear my only transportation apart or where I can get the bushings at a reasonable price? thanks much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rol1 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 A penny to make and $10.00 to sell???? Why, thank you very much. Was it good for you too? I'm a little sore though without the Vasoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amartin Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Think I'll yank it apart during xmas and see which ones are really bad and either replace those or aftermarket the fix with bolts and other generic nylon 'T' bushings......

ShawnW Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Try doing a search for copper bushings. A guy here had replaced all of his with copper ones from a hardware store if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I did this exact repair two years ago but...I took 2 '87 5 speed fwd shifters, used the best parts from each. The lower end of the main shift rod, the bushing shot in both. Gathered up a suitible bolt in the shop: about one half to five eights diameter by about four inches long. Removed the rubber bushing and slieve from the old shift tube (rod?), With anti-seize, inserted the new bolt in it's place. Good fit, but don't quote me on the size. Double nut for a lock, good to go. I have another I'll be doing the same way. Use the spring that is factory down there. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
