Default Gear shift wiggle

I need to replace the bushings in my gearshift linkage. Anyone know where to get the ones for up by the transmission?

Well I think I found the part.

ROD, CHANGE for 1990 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK|54201-SH3-A04

It is #16 in the diagram.

Looks like the only way to get it is to order the whole arm\rod\whatever.

You can look into something like energy suspension shifter bushings. No complaints on my end except it is messy to install

Never mind I found what you were referring to, and yes I could use some of those but thats not my issue. I need it on the other rod where it attaches to the rod coming out of the transmission. Some people just don't realize what a little oil leak can do to the rest of their suspension/shift bushings.

There is no bushing of the connecting rod to the tranny.. only the pin.. or are you refering to the seal on the shift rod where it attach..?

If you're talking about the u-joint thing, it is riveted together so it's officially supposed to be replaced as a unit along with the whole rod. The aftermarket kits probably have you drill out the rivets and install bolts.

mk378, Well I cant find anyone that still stocks the unit. I haven't been able to find the after market kit either. Do you happen to have a link?
