Fox C4 shifter is pretty sloppy. Any recommendations?

[79 Fox]

Hey guys! I am getting the car ready, and I have a problem that is bugging me: the shifter itself is very sloppy. I understand that the bushings in the shifter are probably worn out. I would like to have the shifter feel very solid. Does anyone have a recommendation for a bushing kit for a 1979 C4 shifter?

Have you looked into bushings from the early stangs?

I just found a kit from CJ Pony Parts. It’s about 5 bucks. It includes 2 plastic bushings. Is that what you’re talking about?

That it. I would try the local auto parts store first, unless you need other stuff from there, shipping may be more than the part. also look in the vendor forums for a discount from cjpony, they are a vendor sponsor here.
