The shift rod bushing is the small component that lets the shift rod pivot smoothly inside the drive housing as the shift linkage moves between gear positions; a worn or cracked original bushing can introduce play or binding in the shifter feel, so replacing it restores proper linkage movement. This assembly is machined from aluminum with a white finish and comes as a single bushing assembly per package, sized to drop into the same location as the original equipment part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSierra engineers this bushing to meet or exceed the specification of the original equipment part it replaces, so it is built to the same fit and function as the factory bushing rather than a generic substitute. It is intended for one bushing assembly per stern drive location and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-2353\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shift Rod Bushing Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 inches L x 0.39 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 bushing assembly per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282238209\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercruiser Alpha I Gen II stern drives, serial number range 0D469859-0K999999\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMallory 9-76136\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-2353 Shift Rod Bushing Assembly fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built for Mercruiser Alpha I Gen II stern drives within the serial number range 0D469859-0K999999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2353 an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an aftermarket replacement made by Sierra, engineered to meet or exceed the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2353 cross-reference to a Mallory part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-2353 corresponds to Mallory number 9-76136.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-2353 bushing assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a white finish over machined aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the shift rod bushing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bushing assembly is made from aluminum with a machined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bushings come in one package of the 18-2353?\u003c\/strong\u003e One shift rod bushing assembly is included per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sierra 18-2353 bushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bushing assembly measures 0.39 inches L x 0.39 inches W.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2353 shift rod bushing weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2353 weighs 0.09 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace the shift rod bushing on my stern drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn or cracked shift rod bushing can allow play or binding in the shift linkage on Mercruiser Alpha I Gen II stern drives, and replacing it with the Sierra 18-2353 restores proper linkage movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2353 sold individually or in a kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sold as a single shift rod bushing assembly per package.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988105867483,"sku":"SIE-18-2353","price":31.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Untitled-1__21576.1753840676.500.750.jpg?v=1785188469","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shift-rod-bushing-assembly-23-815921a21-for-mercruiser-alpha-one-gen-ii-stern-drive-sierra-18-2353","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
