    Plastic shift linkage bushing/washers - size?

    Does anyone off-hand know the size of the little plastic bushing/washers that come with a new shift kit? I just put my shift lever in and realized I was missing them where the bottom of the shift lever connects to the shift arm, and I'd rather just run down to Ace and pick up a few than have to order them. I could just go measure the diameter of the rod I guess, but if someone knows, that would be rad.

    The little yellow plastic ones.

    Fit some metal washers instead. It'll reduce the play/slop significantly (no flex). I just went through a pile of misc hardware and found some that worked.

      That crossed my mind.

          If anyone wants to know so they can buy their own rather than having to order them, the washers you want are 10mm (inner diameter) and 17mm (outer diamter). I'm going to do like Ken suggested and just use metal ones, never have to worry about them again.

          Thanks Darin for taking measurements. :up:
