<VV> Input Shaft Bushing (4 Speed Conversion)

[N. Joseph Potts]

This is called the clutch bushing, or some such (input-shaft seal is
elsewhere, but on the same shaft). Keep buying these bushings from different
vendors until you get one that isn't attracted to a magnet. Then use that
one.
     Underground should be MOST interested to learn that they sent you an
iron/steel one. Be sure to inform them. If you get any more steel ones from
other vendors, report these to the list. We all want to know.

Subject: <VV> Input Shaft Bushing (4 Speed Conversion)

I finally found the time this weekend to re-assemble
the clutch components for my ongoing FC 4 speed
conversion troubleshooting and ran into a problem
right away.

The Underground had sent me an input shaft bushing
that is made out of something other than the bronze
material of a stock bushing.

I found out when I discovered that a magnet sticks to
it.

Isn't this the type of bushing that everyone says to
avoid?

I have had this thing apart 3 times.  I don't want to
pull it apart again!
