selector rod Shift Ball - Plastic

This plastic ball goes in the nose cone of a 68-79 bus transmission. There isn't a good way to tell if yours is worn out other than taking the nose cone off, but before taking it off, make sure your trans is in neutral. As you pull the nose cone off, push the hockey stick through it as you go. Now pull the hockey stick out of the ball. Turn the ball sideways in the selector rod and pull it out. Take the new ball, grease it with some white grease and install it in the selector rod. Put a new gasket on the transmission housing and slide the hockey stick just past the nose cone mating surface. Engage the hockey stick into the ball and slide the nose cone on the rest of the way and tighten it.
