Silent Bloc for Shift Lever

All of a sudden, my 308 wouldn't shift correctly. I had a hunch it was the engine side silent block (there's a second one in the passenger compartment by the gate shifter). Sure enough, the rubber had given up. I remember replacing that one about 35 years ago. I also remember that it was about 10 bucks back then. Now, it hovers around $75, and I've seen them listed for as high as $135! If it wasn't rubber which decays with time' I'd say invest in those things (just kidding).

I just worked on it, and it shifts sweet again! What a great great car!

Anyway, it's probably a good maintenance item to replace. Mabe every 15-20 years give or take.
