Title: Shift rod rattle at rear coupler Post by: Brandon Sinclair on March 27, 2009, 16:43:17 pm I have a shift rod rattle that comes from the rear coupler area by the tranny. The shift rod bushing under the shifter has just been replaced and is in good condition. I have always had this problem and I think it is because I cannot locate the proper spring pin for the gearshift rod. According to my parts diagram there is a spring pin (311-711-235), cap (311-711-239), and screw (311-711-243), and a washer that holds it all together. I have only had an aftermarket pin that did not fit correctly and I also tried a bolt and nut, but both of these have slop and so there is a slight rattle that is transferred through the shift rod in the tunnel.
Can someone point me in the right direction where I can get these parts? Thanks for the help. Title: Re: Shift rod rattle at rear coupler Post by: SlingShot on March 27, 2009, 17:53:39 pm Looks like this guy has a couple of those Part #'s.
