Do you guys think these will definatly help with shifting issues?? I ordered both the linkage and base bushings from Kartboy combined with a rebleed of my SS clutch line.. How easy is the install of both underhood and base?? Hopefully these will help clear up the 3rd gear lockout issue I am having. Clutch rod adjustment didnt seem to help anything at all.

 

I haven't done the bushing install myself but all the posts I've read say it's easy.

yeah it seems like it will be rather easy.

 

Yeah all of those installs are a breeze. Under hood: Unclip retainers, take out old bushing, put new one in, put clip back on..

 

tell us how it goes bc im probably going to be getting the base bushings soon, i want to hear the diff.

 

Very straight forward, although the underhoods are a little 'tight' to get at. Figure about 30 - 45 mins for the underhood and around an hour for the shift base bushings.

Tightens the shift up a little and well worth the money and effort.

think it will help notchiness/ lock out problems??

 

theres no way it will take taht long to do the shifter base ones, i replace teh shifter in 30 mins.

 

As much as I wish it would for you, I don't think it will. It's sounding like you have other gremlins to over come (the "lock out")...

whats taht?

 

As ZEUS has already said, it does sound like you have more issues than bushings and a short shift kit will address - although I think they'll help with a more precise gear change.

Failing to engage 3rd would more likely be an internal gearbox issue, as long as the linkage between the shift stick and gearbox are properly adjusted (and there's not much to go wrong there).

Have you tried speaking to your local Mitsu money-pit about it?

nope i have not. I just probably really ruined my chances of getting anything like that looked at this past weekend. aka 272 cams.

 

hehehe - good for you.

I wonder if they'd notice.

nope probably not .... haha yeah but of course. But nothing i have done would have anything to do with drivetrain 3rd gear?
