      i was under there and didnt see any bushing fall apart. i have park just takes considerable force to put it in park. and it doesn't do it all the time but most of the time. the only thing i did recently was put another neutral safety switch in. i cant see that being the problem.

          well got the bracket bent back in place put everything back together i cant get that last bushing out but also it is a bigger size than the rest this is the one this metal rod goes through this bracket on the tranny it's the lower bushing on that bracket. i will see if scott or john sexton can replace it at scottfest. i dont have the issue anymore of it getting stuck. also it seems to shift later than before now with the new bushings is that normal.
