installed em earlier today, the BIG bushing went in no problem, took about 2 minutes, but the smaller one took quite longer. it seemed as if the bushing was slightly too big, or the ring was slightly too small ... it took me about 20 minutes of trying everything in my power to go in. finally after alittle MP grease and some clever ideas it went in, but defintely not without a big struggle.

anyone have this problem?



BTW: absolutely love the shifting, feels amazing and crisp. still a tiny bit of slop, but that should all be gone down the line when i get my shortshifter and clutchline.

(mines 04 but they are the same)

Yup, mine actually never went in at all.... I got a brass big one on and a kartboy small one on.

Which brand of brushings did you buy? There is one company where you have to file them down to fit. I cant think of it off the top of my head right now. That's probably the problem that you ran into.

bought em from speedsource, all other bushings went in perfect (all 8 shifter base, and the large cable link) its just the small one was a huge ***** to put in.

i got mine in, but it never felt right so i took it out a few months later. putting it in was a pain, but getting it out was 100x worse!

for my shifter base (4 little ones) i had to sand them down.. so i would assume it's the same for the underhood ones?

I had trouble with the larger one... I just forced it in... I think that the cable ends get oval shaped so they aren't round... I just kinda wiggled it in and used pliers...

I got the speed source ones and I had no problem with either set. The all went in perfectly.

Well I'm glad mine fit just. I hate buying something that I have to fix before I can even use it.

Nope the Kartboy's that I grabbed off of you went in perfect. Just the little underhood bushing is a right B*TCH to get out!
