Our 71 superbug has a very sloppy shifter. Any suggestions on upgrading and fixing this problem? |

replace the shifter bushing and rear coupling
Put in a short shift kit and WHAA HOO!!
whole other story!
Cost about $50 all up and a couple hours work
Gets rid of that "stirring the bowl" feel

Hi
While you have your shift rod out why not cut a slot with an angle grinder in the front of the cup where the base of the shifter goes so that you can
fit a bent type 3 gearstick, with what blue suggested you will have a really feeling shifter for not a lot of money.
