Trying to install 6 speed shifter bushings

Well I'm trying to install Speed source underhood shifter bushings for my MR.

I've found where the smaller bushing goes (right on top in plain sight) but where dues the second larger bushing go?

Thanks!

I just had to remove the battery to get to both bushing sites. Remove the pin and then use your fingers to remove it. It requires some finger strength, but with some patience you can get it.

I didn't have to remove mine, just the battery.

This is good stuff, I need to put my bushings in SOON.

Are you using anti-seize with your bushings or are you just going to install them?

It took me literally less than 30 minutes to install them. It's just that easy.

Putting in the bigger bushing is a real "knuckle buster"!!

IMP!! Be sure NOT to accidentally kink the clutch line when you are working with the lower shifter bushing.
