suberx Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Anyone ever do this, I want to keep it out of a garage if I can do it myself and am not sure how to go about it. The space is tight and I don't see how the inner or front bushing unbolts, any thoughts. this gt always feels like it is in neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrahamerful Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 i'm new to my legacy, but i am having the same problem... i have like a good 7 inches side to side when its IN gear... when i did my nissan(240sx) i had to remove the shifter entirely which required dropping the tranny just a little (cause i didnt have the proper wrenches) but im not sure whats what with the AWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted March 18, 2012 I Donated Share Posted March 18, 2012 There is a shift linkage joint that connects the linkage to the transmission. Its a swivel type of deal. The cost of it is roughly $70 from the dealer and it is not repairable, so you have to replace the entire assembly. It bolts on one end with a 12mm bolt/nut and the other end with a roll pin (aka spring pin) that has to be knocked out with a hammer and punch (same thing as the CV axle pin) It makes it a little easier to do if you drop the exhast so you have more room to work with it, but it is doable to do without dropping the exhaust. I can do one myself in 15 minutes...but thats just because I've done it so many times. The first time I ever did one was in my driveway and it took me over an hour to figure out the best way to get to it. If you have a 1995 or 1996, the joint has bushings that are replaceable without replacing the entire assembly....but 1997 - 1999 is like I explained. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Is the linkage visible from under the car? Or is it on top of the tranny? And where does it connect with a 12? I have a 1994 first gen, I'm assuming it's the same deal. Thanks so much for the info! It's nice going into a project with some general knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I drilled out the rivet in my linkage, replaced the bushings with mcmaster part number 6294K64 and put it back together with a bolt. combined with a short shifter and all the other bushings from kartboy and TIC it is pretty awesome.
