Sorry Ed. Yesterday was a good self-inflicted damage day for me too. Had a brain fart while using my new Harbor Freight 12 ton press and shattered the aluminum part of my shift coupling. Estimated cost of new shift bushings - $8. Actual cost - New Press - $112. New (used) shift coupling $35. 2nd day air shipping of new shift coupling $25. Feeling like an idiot - priceless.

Merlin: I got the silver one with the big fan club on the Garage Journal forums (#60604) and used the coupon - price was out the door with sales tax. It went together square and doesn't take up much space. I hate supporting the Chinese economy like this, but you can't beat the price. So far, I can't complain about the way it helps me break parts.
Ed: I am determined to bring my 928 to Hershey. If parts come in on time, I should be good. If I only have enough time to just throw the used coupler on, I may resort to the old used car dealer trick of "firming" up worn rubber bushings by shooting some finishing nails into the rubber to close up the center hole. By the time they rust or start to work themselves out, I will have time to actually do the job right and put my delrin bushings in.
