Linkage bushings

[streetglide]

Are these white plastic shift linkage bushings still available somewhere?

[FSJ Guy]

Transmission shop?

Help! section of the parts store?

I'll do a little checking around tomorrow locally like you suggested. This one is in decent shape yet but the other is looking worse. I can come up with a thick piece of plastic and drill the appropriate size hole through it if necessary, since its basically just a supporting pivot point.

That bushing is jeep part number: J535 2589.

I believe it's still available from the dealers.

The small bushings aren't but can be found in the "HELP!" section of the parts stores.

last time I needed some NAPA had an assortment you could pick from but you had to know which ones you wanted.

Thanks for all the help guys.....I need to get some up to date pics on this project of mine....
Got the new bushings from the local Jeep dealer. Part # J535 2589 has changed to # 5207 8134
now everything is nice and snug with no slop. Little brass bushing's pivot freely and should last indefinitely!

Bump to let y'all know this part # 5207 8134 is still available at Jeep dealers. I ordered one today for a T400 at the local dealer for $10.50. The part is used for T400 (1 each) and 727 (2 each) It also comes in a Crown kit.

BJs Offroad has the kit for 727 for $16.50:

Based on the picture, it just shows one however.

There is indeed only one in the new kit; you can replace the other with a 1"x3/8"x3/8" nylon spacer (I got a pack of two made by "Hillman" from my Lowes).

The BJ's kit has bushings that can be used for the shift-rod ends, but I needed to modify them to work; I detail that in the video series on rebuilding my shift linkage:
