Subject:      Replacing shoft lever bushing/seal with transmission installed?

Darrel,  and other Listees,

Is it possible to replace BOTH the seal and the bushing on the shift
lever shaft of a manual transmission with the transmission installed?
Bentley, on page 35.18, indicates that the seal can be replaced in
place, but the manual  is less clear on the same procedure for the
bushing.

Photo figure 3 on page 35.19 shows a bushing which appears to be
externally accessible, and removable with water pump pliers, but on my
two transmissions, one installed and the other "reserved," the
externally-accesible bushing is not evident.

And, without regard to serial numbers or case stampings,  how does one
distinguish between an four-speed 091 and a four-speed 091/1
transmission? What are the external indications of the differences?

Thanks.

Regards,
