What a beautiful family ! Working together to fix their bus , I have two
of them myself , I know how often they brake , & you have to fix them
yourself , especially these days , mechanics do not care how simple
the old VW Bus is , they will find some way to brake your bank !

Yes they are and thank you very much

Hot tip for me, all thread 'press' for bushing.
Thanks!

[@opelgtcr8z491]

No problem 👍

[@daveglick5152]

do you cover your license plate when you drive on the street? didn't think so.

[@marvelousauto9376]

What was the part number for the bushings? Or where did you get them, by bus is a 77 all the bushings i find are for 75 and earlier

[@marvelousauto9376]

I need the nose cone bushungs, where did you get yours? And what search words should i use? Im havin trouble finding those parts, thanks

For get the music and put down what tools were used .

[@opelgtcr8z491]

I'm not sure what music you mean but I guess I should have listed the tools needed for the job. I will remember next time. I do not remember anymore. Not sure if the Bentley manual tells that or not. I didnt use any special tools other than the press that I made. You should be able to size up the bolts. Likely 10mm on the nosecone.

So it looks like you were happy with the results. How was the play/slop in the shifter after replacing all the bushings?

[@opelgtcr8z491]

It was fantastic! Tight, no play and the crazy rattling in the linkage at speed was gone! It shifts very nicely now. I highly recommend it - even if it is a bit of a pain!

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

Shame on you!!

[@martinjcamp]

Sorry Bro, but the ANNOYING STRAY NOISES got you a thumbs-down.

[@opelgtcr8z491]

Sorry to hear that. It was soooo hot that day and no A/C in the garage. Just an old Vornado pedestal fan with issues.
