Column Shift Torque Shaft Bushing???

[Grabinov911]

Guys,

Please take a look at the attached photo from the Factory Service Manual. This is a diagram of the column shift linkage for (among other things) a 1970 Roadrunner. You'll note that there is a Torque Shaft which runs parallel to the ground and rotates between two bushings - one attached to a bracket on the frame rail and the other on a bracket at the transmission itself. On my car, the bushing which supports the shaft where it rotates at the transmission is gone, broken, missing... As a result, the shaft wobbles, and the whole shift mechanism is inaccurate. Any idea what these bushings may be called or where I may find replacements?

Torque Shaft Support Bushings????

Thanks...

I just replaced mine, made a big difference. Now I'm looking for a new swivel assembly as the pin in mine has a worn groove in it.

Try this guy. The tiny part I wanted was literally twice as expensive from him as from Mancini, but for a rare part, I'll bet he has one or knows where to get it...

These bushings would probably also suit a manual trans reverse lock-out linkage.
