Hello,
I cannot imagine why any shipper would put the shift rod bushing on the
shaft (the 'hockey stick') coming out of the gearbox/transmission. That rod is
thinner too, so may not accept the bushing due to a loose sloppy fit.
The shift rod bushing would go on the long shift rod lever. I do not
think that this longish piece (approx 3 foot in length I believe??) would be
included with any rebuilt trans.
I guess the plastic part is for protection during shipping only. That
said, I think it prudent to post a snap for all to see before you go around
removing anything.
Best of luck,
Asad.
Karachi, Pakistan.
