I finally picked up a Datsun 5 speed and need the bushings for the shifter. I've searched online and could find them for everything but the 210. Does anyone have them or info on where to find them?
Thanks, Rut

You could also try Gerard, BillM, or Rivergate.

I have the part #'s written down somewhere if you need them.

Usually the Nissan dealer needs to order them but they come in in about 3 days for me.
That is the best place with the best price.

Which bushings?
The ones that go between the shifter and the yoke?
If so, a little properly sized vinyl tubing has worked for me for years.

Bronze bushings from a hardware store slightly modified work and saved me the wait.

I stock them, as well as front and rear seals, fork boots, the plug you need for the reverse switch, etc.

Did I forget to mention I do drive this daily and I don't mess around?
I just got back from a 250 mile trip in fact.

Get what you want - it's your car, but what I'm using has served me well and costs just about nothing. In fact if I went across the street to the True Value and told them I only wanted an inch of the stuff it would be free.

Maybe BillM can remember when we put in the vinyl tubing in place of bushings there but I know it's been a long time and a lot of miles.

It works great, is easy to replace (if it ever needs replacing) and costs nothing.
Why over complicate things?
