Job done! The new bushings have really tightened up the gear lever and she now shifts absolutely beautifully.
Good. Not to worry, they all rot out until the move to neoprene bushes sometime in the 1990s.
BTW, a group of gurus and I have recently recommended a gearbox cover modification to eliminate the silly extra hours of work to access the remote/safety brake etc. We all do it. We should have done this decades ago.

And it will preserve a delicate transmission that has become expensive.
I have changed two of the tyres. It created a much smoother ride! One was from 2002 - it looked like new but the rubber had likely perished. I changed the engine oil, the clutch and brake fluids. I will order the ZDDP additive.
All good. Though this cranky old man does not approve of only two tyres at a time. Tyres are the most significant suspension components on a trad. Actually, there is very little worthwhile offered in North America for a 205 60 R15 or a 195 65 R15 and far less every year in the Europe/UK where low profile tyres have been popular for a long time. Of course, steel replacing air doesn't do much for car comfort. I do not wait until my tread is gone. Pinpoint handling on a precision sports car is prejudiced long before that. Happily, all the top companies offer any rubber quality
outside the western world.
Thanks for the tip on changing the axle fluid. Do you know if there is a link to how to do this?.

https://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/coolingindex.htm I maintain a log of all the service work performed in an Excel spreadsheet. The original owner from new kept excellent records for the first 15 years. After then, the records are not as comprehensive.
Interesting. I have seen such things before. One can track the life of the owner through their log books.
