<VV> shift tube

[Western Canada CORSA]

I installed the Clarks kit, I did both front and rear.  It took a little
work with a jeweler's file to get it just right.  It's slicker'n snot now.
You can use a shower curtain rod cover to replace the stock liner as it has
usually disintegrated.

Regards,
Joel

completely dissagree! I used clarks brass bushing and hated it, you have to
use 
set screws through your tube and i always had binding problems and it caused
a 
vibration in my shifter. I've never used plastic ones but the delrin ones
from 
corvair underground are great, self=lubricating, press fit, easy install and
i 
recomend front and "rear". I would also use CU's polygraghite stabelizer 
bushing. I have rebuilt dozens of shift tubes with these and never had a
problem 
and gives a solid shifter feeling.

Oh thank goodness, a Corvair-related controversy. 

I've got a Clarks bushing kit that I've been too lazy to install.  now I see
this criticism of the kit.  What's the story here guys?  Who has the Clark's
bushing kit installed and who likes it or doesn't like it?  Inquiring minds
want to know!
