Fixed a floppy shifter today

[RatInDaHat]

Hey all.

 

So i got around to ripping the shift lever out of my 94 2wd today. The shifting was excessively floppy and it was bothering me. It turns out that the lower bushing that goes between the shift lever and the shift rod in the tranny was missing. So to fix it i made some measurements and manufactured a new one. I got one of my telescoping gauges stuck, and that was a blast to get out, but i got it all handled. I'm gonna throw some files up. A quick render to show the part, the solidworks file if anyone needs it, and the drawing with all the dimensions. I'm not sure what models this will apply to, but it worked on the 94 with the v6.

 

Thanks,

My "bushing" is an old socket with a washer welded to it my shifter is silky smooth though and tighter than a virgin on prom night

The funny part is that the socket and welded washer would have taken me longer to make. Good idea though.
