Hi All,
Months ago, the shifter on my M47 was complete garbage, so I dropped some coin and picked up a set of bronze bushings. Those tightened it up a bit, but it's still considerably looser and ****tier than either of my other cars (09 VW / 74 VW) with stock shifters and it's also worse than any other decent condition 240 shifter I've felt.
I do remember Tylor mentioning that I was missing some part from my shifter when we did the bushing swap, I think it was a cup or spacer or something meant to ensure that the bushings are pressed against the pivot ball and keep the shifter tight. I still get a good few inches of sideways travel while in gear. For first and second, I have to push the shifter into my leg and for reverse I have to scoot over a little bit. I know a short throw shifter/mod will help, but I'd rather get it all nice and tight before I go messing with stuff.
Does anybody have an exploded diagram or pictures of all of the bushing components? My cage bushings are good and the bronze bushings are all good too, but it's still sloppy. Thanks.
