A745 Manual Trans Linkage Bushings (Where to get?)

Post by slowflapper Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:18 pm

Hey all,
Been a good while since I've been on, my shop is done and and I'm back after it.

I saw on this forum a bit ago someone posted a link to poly bushings that could be used for trans linkage bushings, mine and worn out and sloppy, need to replace them with something before metal wear gets started.

Anyone have a lead on something that can be made to work?

problem solved for about $3 worth of parts.

These grommets are unobtanium as far as I know, I couldn't even find anything close.

I took the busted one out and realized it had a brass fitting on the inside, lo and behold it perfectly inside a piece of 7/16" automotive heater hose. A little grease, some new washers and cotter pins from Ace hardware and we are back on the road.

Don't laugh to hard, they fit perfectly and tightened everything right up. cheers
