I made a "special tool" for doing this with a bolt, nut, two large
washers, and nut-like fitting for electrical conduit (don't know just

I was just thinking about this job myself. Replaced the tail section on

Just remember to put the rod back in before you put the lever back
on. I have scars all over the back of my left hand from the time I
put the rod in with the lever in place -- I guess I'm kinda dumb,

Take the lever off the tranny -- unclip the rod, push it out
(remember which hole it goes in,,,), then remove the pinch bolt and
pull the lever off. Push in the new bushing, intsall the rod onto
the lever, then put the lever back on the tranny.
You will mangle your hand otherwise. BTDT.

If you don't have increased oil consuption, it's definitely the

correctly, you now have worn over-size guides, and the valve seats,
