Go to suzuki and get the shifter bush as well as a new bolt.

[tanshi]

my old man just got one from bruce.

[BlueSuzy]

I made a steel one

[Hybrid]

x 2 on the bolt. I just got the rubber bush from suzisport.

i have used the guy from ebay that does the gearbox, transfer case and steering a few times and they work great.

if your gearbox is playing up most of the time the transfer case is stuffed or on the way out as well and worth the extra 5 min to do that.

[zukenutter]

Yeah Bruce or any Suzuki shop. Fairly common item. A new bush will make it feel brand new again.

Okay, i'm in the shed, have the replacement bits, the question is how do i get the new shifter bush on ?

The old one ( shown in pic ) has a split up one side so it just slipped off, the brand new one has no split .... It won't fit over the ball at the base, and it doesn't fit over gear shaft / rubber boot etc from the top.

Before i break something, thought i'd ask here, cheers.

[Fatzook]

From the top

Take the knob off ( unscrews) slide the boot, locking ring and washer off. Then apply some grease to the bush and slide on.

[lauby]

Thanks FZ.

easy once you know how. The shifter bush did stretch a little to get over the thick part of the gear stick but it survived intact

It took me longer to do the post above than it did to actually replace the bush and bolt gearstick back in. Massive improvement ! $22 for bush, $6 for bolt = bran new box

[Fatzook]

[Bruce]

$22 for the bush WOW. I'm selling too cheap

[cairns27]

I did this about a year ago, and it only half fixed it.




suzisport just said make sure I line it up with the locator, does a new bolt make that much difference.

bye

You can see in the last picture, the old bolt next to the new. The old bolt had almost worn away to nothing. When tightened the bolt end slides into a slot on the ball at the base of the gearstick, nice tight fit now with the new bolt.
