shifter bushings

[Indiana_Red@hotmail.com (Ken B)]

Rhett,
I will also say that you can do it in a hour.  I took longer to do mine but
I had a 22 year old diesel that had probly the originals on there still.  I
pulled off a few more parts than I had to so I could clean everything.  Man
was it greasy!  Liek a prev. post said.  It will make a difference, sep if
it had never been done B4.  I'd go with the oem bushing kit.  It was 6-7$ at
my local import parts place (BowWow).  You may look into some other kinds or
atleast browse what this guy has.  Good website and good to deal with.
