Interesting side note.
The bracket that was put on at the factory came with plastic bushing installed.
If you purchased the bracket from a Chrysler parts department, it looked identical but without the plastic bushing.
My car is a v8 car originally a 3spd swapped for a 71 4spd. The ball is kinda worn. So I want to get a replacement part just want to make sure that the extra part of the bracket doesn't have an important use.
