[urq] Tranny Linkage fix (help?)

[Jim Fleischer]

Hey guys,

Finally getting around to fix (permanently) my tranny linkage.  The ball on the selector shaft lever (#33 on ETKA diagram) on top of the tranny came out of the bushing (#27 on same diagram) that is connected to the linkage leading to the actual shifter.  The ball went back in very easily, however the tranny has lots of slop and I don't trust it.  I'd like to replace one, the other, or both pieces.  Any advice on which to replace and how?  There is very little room to work within the tranny tunnel, so getting the bushing out, then pressing the new one in seems pretty difficult.  Also, getting a wrench on the selector shaft lever doesn't look all that easy, either.  Any BTDT or similar tips?  Thanks a million!

Best regards,
