How to get the shifter bushings out of auto transmission shifter?
I've checked the forum for answers to this but haven't come up with anything that helps. I have a super-sloppy auto transmission selector handle. I have replaced the bottom bushings (the one attached with a clip to the rod on the tranny that's access from under the car. That helped things a bunch, but there is still a lot of slop so I ordered the 2 other bushings that go in from the top. I have pulled the shifter cover off and I can see exactly where bushings should go but see no way to access them without removing the whole shifter (4 bolts and then I think I have to unhook the shifter from underneath the car again). Is that correct? Or is there an easier way to get access to the top bushings? I'm attaching a pic for reference. Just want to know before I schedule time to get my car up on my friend's lift again.
To be fair, I'm not certain. If you have bad bushings in the shift selector, I think I have an auto trans shifter from an 88 that you are welcome to have.
