Shift Rod Bushing Installation Instructions

⚠ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE (ACHTUNG)

Before installing the shift rod, the bushing must first be mounted in the shift rod hanger.

Install the bushing with the large collar facing the shifter side of the hanger.

Position the bushing so the two slots are at the 12-o’clock and 6-o’clock positions, with the wider slot located at the 12-o’clock position.

Improper orientation can cause binding and poor shifting performance.

Installation Tips

For easier installation and smoother operation:

• Lightly sand and polish the shift rod to create a smooth surface.
• Apply a small amount of grease to the shift rod.
• Apply grease inside the bushing before installing the rod.

This helps prevent premature wear and ensures smooth shifting.

Recommended Tools

• Flat screwdriver or pick
• Light grease
• Fine sandpaper or Scotch-Brite pad

Notes

Always verify that the shift rod moves smoothly through the bushing before final assembly.
