The Dodge Challenger Message Board

My 70 is a factory 340 4 speed car. The question is: Where the transmisson linkage fits through the transmission shift levers on the outside of the case it's a little loose. Was there any bushings that were installed from the factory that would tighten up the linkage where it fits through the holes? Right now I have just pushed the linkage through the holes and put a flat washer on one side and pinned it. But it feels loose.
Any thoughts........?

I am not a 4-speed man but I am sure there were nylon bushings or something. A quick look at the Year One catalog showed that there are bushing kits for early '60s 4-speeds but not for later models.

Anyone able to shed any light on this?

No 4-speed expert too.... Pretty soon I will...

I've owned my 1970 Challenger (4 speed) since 1976 and there weren't any bushings then. It is a loose fit when attaching the linkage but it's never been a problem.

Many thanks!! I will take your word for it and not worry about it.
