Stubborn Shifter Cup Bushing
Having some trouble getting out the shifter cup bushing. Don’t know if it’s frozen or anything, it’s below freezing where i live, but i’ve tried heating it up and gettinf it out but the only thing that has happened is a broken top part of the bushing. does anybody know how to really get this thing out?

looks like its glued in place. plastic as well. drilling out may be the only way. looked here https://www.scribd.com/document/1719...Service-Manual i see hawks has brass ones, Tremec/Borg Warner T56 T5 Bronze Shifter Isolator Cup Bushing - Hawks Third Generation

thanks so much man. where should I drill at though? I’ve tried a screwdriver and hammer as well as a small saw along the edge before posting this, i’m seeing no progress so i’m not sure if this will work. I bought an oem bushing because i don’t really trust the bronze ones, should i glue that one in or just put it in and leave it?

yah drilling could be troublesom, might try heating it again, cant believe it hasnt broken up. do you have a good heat gun, get it hot enough an it should soften the plastic up.
