January 17, 200917 yr Ok, I have been going over this recently on Legacy central, And I'm debating on whether or not to pull my shifter Cut it and make it a short shifter, or just pull it out and replace the bushings. I see that replacing the bushings is not that hard specially when you have plan on having it apart. but what I'm trying to figure out is the parts needed. I want to do it in one day. What parts do I have to order? and how many of each? to completely do all of the bushings on the shifter.
January 17, 200917 yr What parts do I have to order? and how many of each? to completely do all of the bushings on the shifter. Depends on what car. Bushings/linkages changed over the years. Try a search.
January 17, 200917 yr Don't know specifically for a '91, but I'd guess 2 for the "universal" joint at the boss that connects to the rod from the tranny. That's most likely where the slop occurs. There's also one in the pivot joint near the bottom of the shift lever and 2 (fore and aft) on the stabilizer rod. And of course the little spring that centers your shifter. Grab a flashlight and crawl under the car--you should be able to see what your setup is.
January 17, 200917 yr I thought I saw this detailed over on Legacy Central? Complete with picts and part #s??
January 18, 200917 yr I could be mistaken but i believe the 91's had it also....is the little spring that goes between the shift rod and the stay rod.....they get corroded so easily and break...i had tons of slop in the shifter in my 96' and a new spring took care of my problem... (although i think the main function of the spring is to center the shifter)...
