1979 RX-7 rebuilding the shifter
Hello,
I purchased a shifter rebuild kit from Atkins Rotary for my 1979 RX-7. It came with two blue round bushings, but when removing the shifter I only see one of these installed. Is the one in the kit extra? Does anyone have a parts diagram of how these bushings are supposed to be installed in a '79? I've not had much luck finding anything on the SA.

When you pulled your shifter out was the one bushing the lower one? When I replaced my twenty-seven year old Mazdatrix short shifter a year ago there was only the lower bushing, the upper bushing had disintegrated from heat and use over the years. I could see small bits of bushing material stuck to the shifter, There is a hell of a lot of heat in the trans tunnel and you upper bushing probably met the same fate. Just my two cents.
