Three on the tree bushings

So with the lack of finding the linkage bushings for the three on the tree down at the transmission, I "kinda" made my own. I used 5/16th fuel hose. Cut roughly 1/2" long. Shoved it into the levers on the side of the transmission, set the rod pins into the hose, a washer and the clip, and ta-da... "bushings"! I have put roughly 100 miles on it so far. And so far, so good. Much, much better than the wore out orginals. I dunno if I would call it a forever fix... but its working good at this time. And if they don't last... it cost pennies to use.... Just cut some fresh ones.

I had those, those are incorrect. Way too small.

Re: Three on the tree bushings

Search Hurst pit pack and choose the right application for your transmission, I only threw up the random number so the entire line comes up.

Re: Three on the tree bushings

The factory bushings on the 3 speed were a rubber style similar to ATP part number JO-119. I had a hard time finding that part number. I had the Hurst kit already. For a saginaw 4 speed I was working on.

I used this on my 67 sm318 3spd, also added a thin stainless washer to remove any further play before clip. Good luck on your search
