What is the part number fo the shifter?

And what bushing is it, the one that snaps on to the shifter?

larlar

i dont have the number right now but it is that bushing that the shifter ball rides in but when i installed it it did not snap on maybe thats my problem

SilverGTV8

On your stock shifter there should be a plastic ball on the end. That snaps off and installs on the new shifter.

is that the piece?

larlar

ill have to check that out i did not know the ball snaps off. i put the stock shifter back in and ordered new bushing when i get it and take the shifter back out to replace it ill let you know thanks silver for the info

NP, that is a common issue when installing shifters on tremecs.

larlar

you say the ball itself snaps off

larlar

because what is happing is the steeda ball is not going far enough into the hole and is causing it to wear out that plastic bushing

larlar

so then it is popping out like it is not in gear

Yes you need to pry the plastic ball off the stock shifter and install it on the new shifter. That will make it fit snug in the tranny.
