sloppy shifter

[bozo]

Guys, my shifter had developed a bit of play in it so took it apart and had a look,
the bushings that go on the 2 bolts that run through the selector mech (forward & reverse bits ) had disintegrated over time .......
Now the big question is ....... is it easier/cheaper just to buy the hole sifter mech or does someone have/know of part numbers for the 2 sets bushings or has this been
incounted befor and a solution found.
I mean apart from buying parts from mitsubishi.
Thanks Grant

If you mean the bushes at the gearbox end try here

There are other suppliers as well, meek do them for example, so the above is just a sample.

If you mean the bushes at the gearstick end then I could only ever find mitsubishi ones, and it is cheaper to repair your mechanism than buy a new one. There is a thread somewhere here on gearstick bushes, if I find it I will post a link

This extract is from that thread, prices are from Mitsubishi. Dunno how current they are...

A whole thread on the topic, I found it covered everything.

Also I recommend you purchase the bushings via these guys: http://www.amayama.com/. OEM parts but much cheaper.

i made my own from commodore nolathane sway bar bushes. people have also used coiled up cans as ghetto fixes. my nolathane fix is now in 2 car and mine have lasted 5years so far with zero slop
