The best picture I have right now. I guess I'm going to have to start looking for a solution (thats doesn't involve throwing away a perfectly good case)

Was going to say I'd grab a better picture today but just realized I've already scrubbed the transmission down to get it ready to go back in. Is there some way other than leaking that one could determine if that bushing is on its way out?

My shift lever wobbles quite a bit if I grab it and move it. Shifts great, but its a pretty decent leak at this point. If yours is not leaking, I would not even look at it cross and show it the respect it needs.

Thats good advice. At the same time tho, I think I'll keep an eye out for one with a trashed bushing and the owner has already replaced (one thats just a paper weight in someone's garage). I know some guys that do some pretty great things on CNC machines that can prob come up with some extremely cost effective solutions. Maybe a bushing removal kit like the parts that were developed for the IMS bearing.
