shifter bushings or under hood bushings?

i can only afford one right away. which would be better to get first. or will they both help the same. Im getting a 3rd gear grind eveery so often and a high rpm lockout from1st to second occasionally. Eventually i will get both things and new engine mount bushings but for now which would be the best thing to get. Thanks

Just save up until you have enough for both....The buschur racing underhoods are like $28ish....You'd probly spend half that on shipping them separately.

The underhood bushings are a great improvement - especially for only $30.

How much are the in-car bushings? Aren't they only about $30 as well? No offense, but if you can't afford a $30 set of bushings, how are you going to pay for your next oil change, tires or brake pads? Good luck on whatever you choose.

The underhood bushings will provide the biggest positive change. They are a night and day difference compared to the mushy OEM ones. Just ensure you lube your bushings during the install.

I know this is a double post, but I think if you bought a front lower motor mount it will 100% help alot better than the underhood bushings will. I am speaking from experience, take my word for it. The one I recommend is the Blox one, which I guess I am biased too, b/c of the price, but its a great product and was the most noticeable difference out of all of my bushings I have installed so far.

I bought underhood bushings and the Blox roll stopper. Grinding better be a thing of the past after I put those on. Lol.
