Worn shift shaft bushings can cause imprecise shifting, excessive play in the shift mechanism, and potential oil leaks. This kit restores smooth shifting operation and ensures proper alignment of the shift shaft within the gimbal housing. The bushings are constructed from durable brass material for excellent wear and corrosion resistance, while the oil seals are made from high-quality rubber for superior heat resistance and sealing performance.
