Title: gear lever bushes pb !
Post by: yves on June 13, 2021, 14:02:57

 I am replacing the gear lever bushes plastic and rubber  with the SLS kit but it seems that i have some 2 white plastic bushes more than neccessary...!
Are they for another car ( 230 or 250 ?) in case ?
On the pic below  i have fitted the N° 1 but the bushes N° 2 are unemployed ?

Some models used bushings on both end of the two support rods. Those look like the ones that are at the end of the support rod, where it connects to the plate near the base of the shifter rod.

I have fitted now all the bushes but warning about the thickness of the two white big one which go at the front end of the shaft :
They are 1 mm too thick ( each one...!) and can't be fitted with the fork outside :
( kit from SLS i have called them for modification of the kit )
