to install the bushings you need to unbolt the stabilizer rod (one of the shift linkage rods) from the transmission and press out the old bushing, press in the new one and bolt it back up... this can be done with your bare hands if you put some muscle into it, otherwise, you may need to remove the rod completely and use your body weight (step on the bushing until it presses in). On the other end, you simply unbolt the two bolts that hold the funny-shaped bushing in, pull it off, slip the new one on and bolt it back on.

I guess thes multiple DIY's you've seen might have told you that:thinking:

Seriously though, doing the bushings is almost as much work as doing the bushings AND the shifter, it still seems silly to pay somebody to do 1/4 of the job when the whole thing is a 30 minute opperation anyway. :dunno:
