Torque Shaft Bushing Question

[SixBarrelBill]

I'm working on my 1970 Roadrunner which is a column shift car. I'm going through all of the shifter linkage and bushings because they are junk!

I have located the torque shaft bushings that I need for one side. For the side that attaches to the transmission, it's got some kind of a steel core rubber bushing in it. Has anybody seen this before? I can't seem to locate a replacement for it.

I don't want to dig it out of there yet in case the plastic torque shaft bushing doesn't fit the hole and then I'm screwed.

I have attached photos of my one plastic bushing and the steel core rubber bushing that attaches to the transmission.

Thanks for any help, Bill.

My 70 GTX had plastic bushings at both ends of the torque shaft like in your first pic.

I see they do show this piece with the plastic attached and not the rubber steel core like I have. It doesn't make any difference to me as long as the plastic will work in my bracket. I guess if it doesn't, I'll be buying this whole piece.

Ya, all the info I've seen has that plastic bushing on each end. Maybe I'll have to dig it out of there and see if the plastic one fits it.

This is the bushing you need. 2781420. Bushing is the same on both ends of the cross shaft.

When I was still trying to make my 383 Scamp a column shift, I came across plastic bushings Mopar used for many years.
This fits my 68 Road Runner too...

The hole is .875" in diameter in the bracket which fits the white plastic and the #03575434 turquoise color replacement bushing.

Like this. There are aftermarket ones out there in black.

I have seen that number in Turquoise, Black, and white.

I have seen that number in Turquoise, Black, and white.

The turquoise pair that I have are probably from 2007.

Thanks for all the info. I've had this car since 1990 so at some point before that it must have been switched out.
