Re: 3 Speed Manual Column Shifter Adjustment
Those rubber bushings,
The factory automatic columns use the same bushings as the manual column. I found 2 places on the net that sell repro parts for older Chevy Impalas, Bel Airs, etc that work in our columns. You need to save the old metal sleeve from your old bushing, because the metal sleeve that is supplied is too small to fit the bolt stud. You have to have the metal sleeve in order to tighten the bolt onto the lever without locking the whole thing up.
I installed a new rubber bushing in my automatic column and it tightened it up a lot.
You can getr the rubber bushings at:
classicchevy.com
and
Bel Air Auto Parts also has them, as well as the plastic bushing that goes on the bottom end of the stock shifter for automatics.
I hope this helps.
