How to keep a bushing from rotating on a shaft

[gjz30075]

Hi all,
Looking for some ideas on how to keep a bushing from rotating on its
shaft. My original thinking was to carve out some metal from the inner
sleeve of the bushing, as seen in the pic, then put down some weld on the
shaft and file the weld to fit.

Another thought was to cut a keyway in the shaft but I'm not sure how
to cut the inner sleeve of the bushing for this.

Any other ideas??

I have a miniature ball peen hammer. The ball side is ground to a point and i have used it in similar situations to peen the surface i dont want to move.then i apply red thread locker.i used that idea many times when the surface where a bearing race seated was worn.you could use any tool pointed that you could get in there to peen with.

If you're set up to do it or know someone who is, knurling the shaft a little will work depending on how sloppy the fit is.

I'd just use some thread locker. What's this for? Only reason I ask is why don't you want it to rotate in the bore?

I've had hardened bushings that were pressed into mild steel bores start spinning. I'd take a center punch and ding up the bore on the mild steel and press the hardened bushing back in, sometimes adding lok-tite. It would last a while, sometimes a long while, till the mild steel bore could be fixed properly.

This is for gearshifter. The bushing will be part of the upper stick and the shaft is
the lower, ie, coming out of the gearbox. The bushing is a near perfect fit on the
shaft but yet slides and rotates easily. The rotational action is what I want limited,
otherwise a 2-3 shift, or 4-2, or, whatever motion is diagonal, will feel sloppy. The
bushing needs to be 'connected' to the shaft but not permantly. The upper part of the
stick, at times, will need to be removed.

Don't worry about the up and down motion, ie, pulling up or pushing down on the
gearstick; I have that covered.

Drill the assembly and insert drift pin

Locktite 609 I believe is the proper goop to adhere a bearing to a shaft. I also would second Lazer50's suggestion to take a pick hammer to the shaft and pick around it raising the surface of the shaft to enlarge it just enough to make the bearing a lite press fit. If you have a lathe, knurling is the same thing.
