<VV> shift tube

[Mike Kost]

I have the Clark's setup on my car with no problems (DEFINITE 
improvement over the stock paper wrapping and plastic ring). I could see 
where the brass setup might be a little less forgiving than the delrin. 
I could see where the rear bushing might cause some binding if the 
engine and/or transmission mounts were worn and sagging badly. One 
modification which might help the brass setup would be to drill and tap 
a hole for a grease fitting and occasionally pump a SMALL amount of 
grease into the bushing (I have not had any problems). With either the 
key is to have an inner tube which is straight, round, and very smooth.
