What did your shifter bushings look like? Possible you finished tearing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostedflake Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 which bolt won't come out. the two up top at the pivot or the one going across at the bottom?

alex37211 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's only a matter of 2 bolts to drop the exhaust down out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostedflake Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 you can use any type of bolt to put in there. Just measure the width that you'll need, probably 1 1/2", and go to home depot and bring your new shifter so you get the right diameter bolt, and get a nice stainless steel bolt that wont rust in the future and some washers and a stainless locknut to finish things off. Thats what I did and it only cost me about $2. As for the exhaust if your bolts are severely rusted on it just do the same thing for it, just make sure to get stainless bolts and nuts. Thats what I had to do because we bought my car from Pennsylvania. Yea it might be time consuming but it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
