Time for an eBay short shifter.

I just repaired mine the other day and here's how.

3/8 X 3/8 Copper Coupling C600DS3/8 by Nibco | DoItYourself.com

Buy a couple of these couplings from a Lowes or Home Depot. I got mine from Lowe's for $0.67 each. I'm almost completely sure they are the 3/8" coupling. You will need to cut a slit into them long ways for it to slide over the 'bracket thing' you have pictured; it will not fit otherwise. File any jagged edges. Two of them seem to be a little longer than the bracket thing, but they work just fine. It is not a perfect fit but it is a large improvement over what it was and much more solid than I remember ever having in my car.

I can get the exact part number tomorrow and confirm the size.

Plan on replacing the copper every year.

 

[19Eclipse90]

True. It is not a long term solution, but until I find a suitable, more wear resistant piece, that buck-and-a-half ever year will just have to do.

so whats the part number? is it better than bushing new oem bushings and using nylon washers?

I just replaced it with a nylon washer. I've had it on my car for 3 years, no issues yet.

Anyone know if there is a metal replacement for that 24588f bushing?

 

[Defiant]

King Bearing, or any local bearing shop will probably be able to match it with a sintered bronze part.

will this work for the 24594B parts also? im having alot of side to side play. i mean the shifter moves but the cables doesn't move.

 

[19Eclipse90]

That is where I used the couplings, yes.

been looking into this. is a ebay short shifter going to replace the bushings used on the shifter shaft" the part that the shifter rotates on"? don't want to waste money on something that i don't need to buy. like only needing a few as apposed to 7 of the 24594b's. thanks for the input.

well just ordered a short shifter from e bay. if it works out without the bushings then great but that question still was not answered by a link. thanks for the great effort on that reply.

You have to use the oem bushings on the short shifter so this in no way will fix your problem. You are just going to have a sloppy short shifter opposed to having a sloppy stock shifter.

Well the idea was that while im in there i can replace the stick and repair the problem. talked with my parts department. Found 2 diffrent types of bushings. One is 1.83$ and the other is 10 bucks for the"blue". I got a 92 awd talon. Whats the count on the blues?
