Center support bushing question 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan Bennett on  Wed May 16 15:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello everyone-

My shifter (auto)is really starting to bob around over rough surfaces. I've had it looked at while in the shop for other causes, and it looks like my tranny has two very tiny leaks. One is in the middle (over the tranny support), and the other is the tailshaft. Now that the center support bushing is worn, it's allowing more play in the tailshaft, so it's starting to leak a little more.

Here's my question. The bushing is bad because of normal wear and tear that's been supplemented by fluid leaking on it, weakening it. To fix this leak in the center of the trans. would require rebuilding the transmission according to the mechanic. I don't want to have the transmission rebuilt because everything works fine.

1. Can I wrap the bushing in something to protect it from the fluid?

2. How easy a job is this to do? Can I just unbolt the center support and replace the bushings? How does is work?

Thanks!!!!!
