All the bushings are done from underneath. I've only ever done the shifter
ones. For the shifter one (which causes a buzzing in 2nd and 4th), remove
the bolt, turn the lever 90deg, and have at it.

The bushings elsewhere I've never done, so I don't know how hard it is.
It's those other ones that cause a vagueness (more than usual, that is) in
the shifter's feel.

Here's a scan from the factory manual, in case it helps:

My shifter bushings are making noise now, and I plan to replace them in the
spring, with photos.

BTW, my PCV valve has recently stopped clicking when the hose is squeezed,
but there's no oil being pumped anywhere yet. I wonder if it's stuck open?
I've been having a bit of a problem with a rough idle in cold weather and
this may be the cause. Next oil change I'm swapping it for new. Photos
soon!
