Manual Transmission Fluid Change

The shifter seat bushing? No need to grease. Just goes right in

 

Thank you

 

Welp, I ordered the wrong one :/

 

Dealer is telling me I need to buy a new housing as the seat bushing is installed already?
I am having a little trouble with getting the new seat bushing into the existing housing :/

 

Nah, just a little bit of gear oil will do great

 

Figured that, thanks for the confirmation Zane

 

I think you ordered the one for a manual transmission.

Order the bottom option to get the manual trans and transfer case bushings all in one shipment

I was able to get them both from the dealer

 

Did you pry out the old seat?

A socket can be used to tap the new one in. But you should be able to do by hand see 2:02 or so here

As far as gasket goes, If you're in a pinch you can pick up a sheet of gasket maker and make your own or use RTV

 

The old seat came out easily enough. Im going to just order online, I can wait, even tho I don't want to

 

Also thank you for the video, i didnt realize it was inks before i was on my phone and driving. currently home with laptop

 

My shifter didnt even have a shift lever cap (Aluminum piece) or the little white cup from the get. geeezzz

 

okay so im having trouble confirming that this is the correct part
i may just have to go get some gasket maker/ atv

 

I'd just use some permatex right stuff grey and call it a day

 

lol ahh man I can't even get the seat bushing in also I went got ultra black, is that overkill? From the drawing of the parts schematics and the parts I feel like something is off.
The guys checked my part #'s and said they're correct for this truck, but don't seem to sit or fit right.

 

What is the OD of the seat and what is the ID of the shifter base?


Black is just fine, it is the most durable against gear oil. I use it for differentials and oil pans

 

I'm fairly confident you got the seat for the manual transmission and not the transfer case

 

Firstly, the original black o-ring that was under the corroded seat cushion remnants is slightly smaller then the new one.
Secondly, the larger curved shaped piece on the shaft does not allow the shift lever cap to slip on over at all.

Sorry I'm a diyer and super new to this

 

You mentioned that, I'm sorry I read through it and didn't circle back to research it. My fault.

 

Ok. I'm lame hahah embarrassing moment lmao
