T56 Bushing install question

[Flatliner]

I am replacing the stock bushing in tonight, but read somewhere that it needs to be epoxyed in. Need to pick up anything I need on the way home, so a few questions:

- What did you use to pull the old one out?
- What epoxy did you use to put the new one in?

a pair of pliers should suffice to yank out the plastic one (they end up stuck to the ball end of the shifter half the time anyway)

the shifter being bolted down should be more than enough to hold the bushing in place.

you should have asked me a couple of days ago when I had the shifter off...

Thanks John! I picked up the bronze one from RPM like you suggested. Gonna get the most out of it before it goes back as the core

They charged you for a core? They told me they didn't want my old one back. Would only give me like $80 for it.

Really? Interesting, when I talked to him he told me that they would charge a core. If that's the case though... then maybe I shouldn't be beating on it and I should attempt to mess with it myself.

I copy and pasted this from their website:

Pricing is on an exchange basis. We build and ship you a transmission, you install it, then ship us the core back on the same pallet. If we do not receive the core back within 30 days, we will charge you $750 for the transmission core. Contact us if you do not have a core transmission. Prices subject to change.

Yeah, I got the ebay special for $1800 outright. I was not charged a core charge in the first place.
