Hi - can anyone update me - I need gearbox linkage bushes

[jimi]

Where can I get good price bushes for the linkage? I put a new clutch in. 3rd gear was always a bitch to slide into, but I recon the bushes are now shot due to the pressure I used to plug them back into place. They look a bit mashed up. It will get into 3rd when oil cold but after 10 mins when warm it smashes and grinds and won't hit 3rd. I hope the selector is OK. THANKS

If it's the bushes on the end of the gears change rod and the side linkage then the only person I can think of is Tim (commeracer) who made some up from bronze. The housing needs to be split open (drill out three rivetts) and then built up with the new bushes, the front one is a real pain to do.

Martin Maltas had a load of bushes made up in 2020. I had two. I don’t know if he has any left or has sold them all. See Facebook post. They are carbon of some kind not bronze. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ilovecommercampers/permalink/10158562677970505/
