Thanks Stephen - I was just under there and everything is just swimming around, so the
anchor points those ball bushings would provide does sound like the likely problem. Do
you recall accessing them from directly under, or twisting arms around from the wheel-
well area? I can't see a thing up under (over) there thus far!
Thanks again,
Dale

IIRC there are two nylon balls and a nylon bushing in the linkage on
top of the tranny. I've had the pleasure of only 3rd and 4th three
times, and I believe the order of failure was large ball, small ball,
bushing. There was at least a year or two between each failure. I
think Steve at Europarts sells a kit with all the pieces and
recommends replacing them all at once.
Replacing the components is not technically difficult, but access is a
bit of a pain and it can take some perseverance.

Would someone mind describing how to replace the darn bushings
in the manual trans shifter...they were replaced about 20K ago
(by local indy), but today I suddenly had nothing but extreme play,
especially to the right, and access to 3rd and 4th gears only.
Sounds more like something came loose and not a bushing. It's really a
matter of getting under the van and looking at the shifter rods and levers
and seeing if something looks disconnected.
