Automatic Trans Bushing

Post by familyman »

The automatic transmission lever used to vibrate as I drove the car. I have just discovered why: no bushing between the lever and the transmission. Whatever used to be there is completely gone! Can anyone tell me where I can source this part, or is this something I'm going to have to fabricate?

Yes! That's it. I didn't see this on the midwest site, but perhaps they just listed it. It says its a new item.

I made one out of some plastic feet for a small table. I found the perfect size at Home Depot for about $2.
