"slop" in shifter

[nekbinders]

My 75 200 has a bunch of slop in the automatic shift lever. I found the problem to be on the pivotal linkage on the transmission. Has anyone rebuilt the bushings? They don't really look serviceable, but I am sure there is a way. Funny, I looked at all my other trucks and found that 75 is different than the others. The 74's had a different style. The 73's had a similar one but angles different. Luckily I have another 75 with an automatic that had decent bushings to tide me over until I can find a good way to fix the original.

Take the bushing or the measurements of the I>D. of the hole and the O.D. of the shaft to a transmission shop. They have lots of bushings.

We're referring to a column shift here, correct?

We have an assortment box of bushings at the shop. Not sure if one is big enough. I was planning on using a steel or brass bushing. I'll eventually find something to my likings. Just was looking to see what others have done.
