Is there a link /how to on a stronger better shift rod set up?

 

Possibly...but I have not seen it. Why do you think this is necessary? OEM seems more than sufficient.

 

I'm having trouble getting mine apart at the plastic insert pieces and I figured I'd ask in case i break something, mine has some rust on it. Maybe I'll just clean it up and replace the plastic inserts?

 

Sounds like a great idea.

 

Well finally got everything apart, cleaned, and painted. I've found the smaller plastic inserts in the help isle at Advance but no one seems to carry the 2 larger inserts/bushings. Going to check dealer or maybe a trans shop on Monday. Unless someone has an idea?

 

Junk yard, ebay, rock auto maybe?

 

I've been really lucky at the junk yards before but thats one part that has been destroyed, tried ebay. I'll try rock auto. thank you!!!

 

You may get lucky at the dealer and maybe not. I needed those plastic bushings for my 98, dealer said they only come with a new rod. Ridiculous IMO. Ended up going to a tranny shop.

 

Hey guys found a dealer that had the linkage bushing I was looking for, Dodge part #3467800 and supposedly its still available and can be ordered. They had one of two I needed on the shelf but at "$13" I'm going to try and find the second one somewhere else... Hope the number helps some one else?

 

Thanks for the info. $13, unreal huh? I think I'd even go lay in the mud at a JY instead of paying that for one of those.
