Just picked up an 87 Targa and the first thing I noticed was how much slack there is in the gear shift. I'm thrilled to see that replacing a few bushings will likely be a huge improvement, and thank you for such a thorough walk through of the process!!

Very good thanks

Great video showing the bushings clearly and explaining the details. Thank you.

Thanks for walking through steps for re-aligning the coupler and shift rod!

Very helpful. I spent an hour looking for a video like this.

Thank you so much. You got straight to the point and stayed on topic. I appreciate that.

Thanks. Might look at that for my '79

Thank you. I have the same problem and now I know what to check. Many thanks.

🕵🏾💯 Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍

Should the bushes not have been greased with silicone grease or similar? This way they won’t wear out when rubbing against the rod or gear-lever bottom

So a couple months ago I replaced both bushings. Was very solid for a while, but the sloppiness is back. The coupler and the shift rod bushings look ok, but the ball cup bushing is already loose again. Seems to have happened after a long spirited drive on the 4th. Is there a better solution than the factory ball cup bushing? Otherwise the car shifts perfectly, it's just the little bit of slop that annoys me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is this a G50? Same process for 915?
