changing Shifter Brushings
Hi everyone,
i notice my shifter is slow to bounce back to center position from the 1st and 2nd gear position, and is fine bouncing back from 5th gear position. Well i read, and it may be my shifter brushings. when should i change my brushings?

Probably not shifter bushings, but rather a busted shifter return spring.
Very hard to replace, and requires dropping the tranny.
When the shifter bushings are gone, it feels like the shifter could lift up or down, and does not feel like it is lining up real well with the gates of the tranny. Typically there is more noise (vibrations) as well.
when it is the shifter return spring, the shifter does not return to the 3/4 neutral spot by itself.
