Message has anyone had any trouble fitting the brass bushings into the OEM shifter. I bought a set from CZP and it didn't seem like they would fit. I could barely get 1 seated let alone push it in. Wouldn't go more than a thick piece of paper. Even then I couldn't get it to sit straight. CZP told me they needed to be pressed in. I tried with a hammer and wood block so not to damage it just to see if it would seat a little bit. Wouldn't budge more than about 1/16". I asked the mechanic that does my major work and he told me if it is that tight a press would probably damage the brass and not set it all the way down. His other suggestion was to freeze them for a few hours maybe they would shrink enough to get them in. Didn't work.
