I have a sloppy shifter and looking at the Touch Shift linkage diagram it only has 1 bushing (#15). I went ahead and got that green bushing (#15) and installed it on the shifting rod end piece (#70) as indicated.
Now shift lever feel has improved a lot, but there is still slop, especially between N and D.
Watching the linkage from underneath while a helper manipulates the gear shift lever, the play seems to be at the
other end of the shift rod (#60) at the pin where it connects to the transmission.
It looks like there should be another bushing there? I cant find any reference to it though.
Before I got to read this I passed by my parts dealer and asked to see the bushings they have. I had taken rough measurements of the hole in the transmission range selector lever (33) that the shift rod (63) hooks on to. It was around 14mm, and bushing 2109920010 was a good match. So I got one and put in on. It snapped on like it was meant to be there, and no more slop rowing through the gears!
I will try the adjustment if the bushing fix doesnt work out, I dont feel like diving down there again at the moment lol.
