Bushings - shift linkage

I have a 1984 Hurst Olds with a TH200-4R transmission, and was cleaning up around the shift linkage. I noticed one of the bushings was missing, and the other one was broken and fell out. Would anyone have an exploded view and or part numbers?

Thanks

There are no bushings for that part. It's assembled correctly.

Interesting, I was sure something that looked like part of a bushing was in there, but then the entire area was caked in greasy mud and fine stone. Thanks

After more research, I wonder if this is what I am looking for?
GM part number 100021797
I will meet up with a few car guys at the next show and see what is under their cars

Some cars did use those bushings, I’m almost positive the G body cars did not.

Look at the linkage, the shift rod is already a tight fit in the transmission bracket. There appears to be no room for a bushing.

I noticed it was not the loosest fit, which suggests you may be correct that the bushings will not fit in. I will keep on looking and asking around. Thanks

I've returned to the shift linkage issues I'm experiencing, and I can confirm that the slop in the linkage is significantly more than I initially realized, as shown in the picture.

I went ahead a ordered a bushing/spring kit from GBody Parts, and the rod is a nice, snug fit in the slotted linkage. The round original bushing was also very worn and elongated, so the new white bushing will also help.



The next item, and hopefully the last, is the shift cable. I am having trouble adjusting the shifters to work properly with the column linkage, so I am guessing it may be stretched. The original part number for the cable was 357746, and it appears that cable 3958079 will also work.

Does anyone have any experience/feedback, or reviews on which cable to purchase?

Thanks
