Did you guys ever find a source for a new bushing? Mine needs to be replaced also. Thanks.

I think it's this one, looking at the explosion made my eyes crossed, lol

991-7 .... 122623 .................... Sleeve, JF506E (All) Manual Shaft To Case (Plastic) (.485” ID) 2002-Up................................................ .................... 1..............TBA

So I tried to follow the threads but it has jumped all the way around, from the cable needing to be adjusted to that not working-- to that working again, to that back to not working, for it to have been the bushing the whole time, am I correct? Just very confused on this one here.. if someone could please clarify in one place.

For iownme, it turned out to be the bushing which he salvaged from his donor car.

Where would one go about locating a replacement bushing? And this is the bushing that connects the adjustment cable into the transmission itself, right? Again, thanks for all your help, Dell

I have the same problem, but unfortunately I don't have a donor car.. Where can I find this part? Jag dealer informs me that it is "obsolete" and unavailable. Have tried Mazda, Ford and others dealers whose cars supposedly shared this transmission, but have had no luck. Does anyone know a source?

............. or do I have to fabricate this part?
