Shifter bushing replacement - Any way to get all of them without a welder?

[jawja jim]

This last one I bought had so much slop that I thought I was going to have to pull the passenger seat out to get it in reverse.

Here is another very useful thread--started by you, ironically! :-)

Apparently I still suck at searching
I'm gonna go look for the bushings tonight in storage and hopefully I can find them.
That room is just piled with crap.

That's how mine feels, man. I can be in 3rd and still hit both seats haha

Zoom zoom just bought a new tool.
You need to organize a group buy to buy a couple of bars of bronzoil bushing stock for him to practice on. Forget about plastic!

I'm thinking I wont have the car long enough to wear the plastic ones down.
I looked through my storage unit a bit and couldn't find the inserts so I may
just take the shifter off of my other Festiva for now and swap this one over
til I move and have room for all that crap. That storage unit is a flippin mess...
I have way too much crap *sigh*
