Don’t know who has this tool, but it’s worth every bit of the $90. Switched out the shifter shaft bushings in about 10 minutes. That rattle is completely gone. Old bushings were chewed up. I added a third and greased the inside of the bushings too.

Out of interest, with new bushes installed, is there any lateral movement on the shifter shaft? I've 25,000 miles on mine and there's a slight 'wiggle' when pulled fore and aft, maybe five thou, but never having felt a new set up, I'm not sure if it's worth replacing the bushes yet.

I don’t have much movement at all in the shifting parts, if yours has a little more play, you may have to loosen the pinch screws and squeeze the play out and re-torque the screws...and check out the bushings. HD says they normally change em out at 20k miles

Check out video after install of bushings

If you use three bushings, put the third one in first and place in the middle. Then put the front and rear one in...put a lil grease on the inside of the bushings too
