      Anybody got an ideas for getting the slack out of my shift linkage? Can't find replacement bushings anywhere.

                          I prefer to use Timken brand bearings and seals whenever possible. I avoid the store brands, like Partsmaster, like the plague... nothing but bad experiences with those ones. A second option would be SKF.
                          Hope that helps.
