secondary bushing...

[87gtNOS]

Damn bushing won't stay in place...the bushing on the bearing side.

Replaced it last winter with an aftermarket bushing, and it wouldn't stay in, so I put in an OEM bushing. Lasted about 1000 kms...

Cruising for about 6+ miles on the lake yesterday at 60+ mph....lost rpm....bushing must have got hot and moved out between the secondary and the jackshaft bearing...

Any suggestions to make a new one stay put?!

Make sure you push in on the right side put some lock tie on there also.

ok, I don't have it with me right now, but what do you mean 'the right side'? From the outside or the inside?

I cannot remember if it can only be pressed from one side. I think it can go from either side....

I am pretty sure I had peened in little dots with a punch on the clutch after I pressed the bushing in from the outside...it presses in and leaves you about 1.5 mm space on the outside...so I hammered a couple peens on there..
