0326361 – BUSHING, Shift Rod, Lower – Evinrude

The 0326361 Evinrude bushing is a lower shift rod bushing used on many Evinrude and Johnson outboard engines in the 18 HP to 35 HP range. It fits into the gearbox linkage where the shift rod passes through. This bushing supports smooth movement of the rod and reduces wear on pivot points and metal parts. It also helps prevent play or binding in the shift system.

If your shift linkage feels loose, sticky, or sloppy, a worn bushing may be the cause. Replacing the 0326361 Evinrude bushing restores proper fit and helps the shift rod move freely. First, inspect the lower shift rod area for wear. Next, remove the old bushing. Then press or slide the new bushing into place. Finally, ensure the shift rod passes through it without resistance. Use light lubrication if needed. The correct fit helps the rod align with gearcase components.
