An autostick starter? No bushing?
Well transaxle by the woodstove, bushing in the freezer essentially did nothing to help. Noticed the newer bushing is shorter, too.
The old bushing was extracted by threading a tap into it, then with a punch on the tap, hammered out. And yes, it came out with relative ease.

Re: Another Engine Build thread stock type 1 dp
There are two different bushings. One is shorter and wider (6V Trans I think) and the other is narrower and longer.An AutoStick starter eliminates the bushing. I had to put one on my baja due to the bushing hole being wallowed out and not holding the bushing.

Re: Another Engine Build thread stock type 1 dp
I know this seems a silly question, but do you lube bushings? My instinct says yes, but....

Yup. A little grease or thick oil is fine.

Re: Another Engine Build thread stock type 1 dp
Thanks. Any tips on extracting the old bushing for the arm? I used a thread cutter die just undersized to extract the starter bushing, but have no die big enough for this one, and it's in a hole, so no pushing from behind.

Pampered transaxle.
Old bushing.
New bushing.
Curious pits in the old bushing not in the new one.
Sometimes I figure I might be better off just leaving it alone.

Another koan. Sigh.
Think I'll stick with the old one. The fit isn't sloppy, and yes, lubrication traps.
Thanks,

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
What have I done to the universe to deserve this?
So I had no idea you could run the large bushing at the arm end of the throw out bearing arm into the case TOO FAR! I figured the shoulder would snug up at the other end going into the case, BUT NO!!!! It's a good quarter inch too far for the tongues the bearing itself mounts to align properly on the guide tube. It was such a great, snug fit it took some effort to drive the large bushing in, and now I fear I'm going to brake bell housing again or something trying to back it out. It...is...not...budging...one...lousy...little...bit.
I'm going to cry. So close, now this.

Try a little bit of heat and see if that helps. Hang in there.

Re: Another Engine Build thread stock type 1 dp
More than one way to skin a cat, as they say.
That thing was in there. Here it is before it got installed.
It wasn't coming out by hook or crook. Implement after implement was brought to bear on the task with nothing but a bent throw out bearing mounting fork. I finally pounded it all the way through to the wrong side, where, of course, the assembly was still hopelessly stuck.
What to do, what to do. So I sanded down the outside until I was able to slide it back through and start over.
Triumph!
Whew. Just need to bolt down the starter and it's ready to go back into the car. What an ordeal.
Thanks everyone for your support during this, my most recent trial of tribulations.
I feel much better now.
