Diagram ref no 40

This bushing fits at the pivot / ball joint between the shift rod and lever (or shift linkage) in the transmission control system. It provides a smooth, low-friction interface for the shift linkage ball to move. It helps maintain rigid alignment while allowing the necessary articulation during gear changes. A properly fitting bushing reduces backlash, noise, and wear in the shift linkage system.

Why replacement matters:
• Over time, original bushings wear out, deform, or deteriorate (often from age, heat, or friction), causing looseness or play in the shift linkage.
•  Worn bushings can lead to sloppy shifts, unwanted vibration or noise, misalignment of gear selection, or even difficulty engaging gears.
•  Replacing with a high-quality replacement bushing restores precise linkage movement, reduces slop, improves shift feel, and protects connected linkage components from accelerated wear.
•  Because the shift linkage is a mechanical feedback path between driver and transmission, even small play can degrade the “feel” of the gear changes — a properly fitting bushing helps bring that crisp feel back.
