Made a nice new extended gearstick to day for the race car, whilst admiring my handy work I slid it back and forth, yep all good NOPE  weld still hot from where I had just been grinding I got the smell of burning rubber and now one end of the gearslide has no bush!!!!Has anyone fitted this in the past from Roy - Set of bushes, 2 nylon and 2 polyurethane for gearslide tube assembly. Not easy to fit To fit these requires much time, perseverance and understanding!! (his words) Any tips |

I have asked the same question for years but no proper answer, so I cut the lever. Remove it and replace the bush including the rubber at the same time. When lever is out, you have room enough to colapse the bush and press it in. Attachment: lever-002.jpg Attachment: lever-001.jpg |

I tried several times with the lever in place but failed constantly. To open the folded over edge on the tube will only ruin the tube. If anybody else is willing to share their secret, beers are on me
