Shift Coupler

[DavidH]

The new one has the straight through bolt and nylock nut...actually the old one does too come to think of it. I was thinking that maybe tightening it might spread the plastic bushes enough to take up the slack, but they seem to be too hard to have any give in them. I haven't bolted the new one on yet, so I might give it a go tomorrow and see how it looks. If it still feels like too much slop, I may just fab a couple of new ones. I've got a ton of HDPE leftover from my father's plastic factory, so i might make them out of that. I'll let you know how it goes

Yes, there's a type of crush tube I suppose you could call it that goes through it. I'd disassembled in the photo to have a closer look.

Is there a torque setting for the connection?
Modern plastics 'fail' the old way plastics worked & thus compression.
Maybe computer printed is not the same as OEM.
