Hi Folks,
I am doing some last minute prep work for the " Auto Manual Swap " that's getting done this month.
Saw that my Shift Cable Linkage Assembly could use a replacement of the smaller bushing where the gear shift is.
Instead of paying $22 for some hard plastic from Hybrid, I did a $2 DIY and it came out perfect.
Here are the Hybrids . . .
=========================
I went to Lowes and spent $2 for a 2-pack of rubber grommets and a plastic bushing.
Used a Dremel to shave the outside of the white bushing, and then I cut the length
until it matched and fit inside the smaller shifter cable ring.
It is a perfect, snug fit. No jiggle wiggle . And no more sloppy slop.
Then I . . .
This should last awhile.
We'll see how it goes.

Then I . . .
- Applied some lithium grease to the bushing and then slid the cable end onto the shaft.
- Applied some lithium grease to the rubber grommet side of the cable end and slid the retaining washer onto the shaft, plastic side first.
This should last awhile.
