there are 6 bushings in total. two under the hood and four at the base of the shifter. those are just for the two under the hood.

i have poly bushings in the base, and buschur racing aluminum ones under the hood. they both work fine. but i don't know that you could say neccesarily that metal is better than poly or vice versa.

the BR bushings are a nice product, and reasonably priced. the e clamps can be a little tricky to get on, but with some needle nosed pliers to push on them, they go right on.

 

this is one of my next upgrades

 

i have brass bushings i havent installed but still deciding on my short shifter

 

i think that ss are bad on your trannie and our trannies arent that great as is...unless shepard builds it for you

 

I prefer the metal shifter bushings to poly... not a fan of short shift levers on Evos. I say do the bushings first, then see if you really think you NEED the SS.

 

The brass base shifter are good not under the hood though. They tend to lock out because they need to warm-up in order for them to function properly. I have tested both brass under hood and poly urethane bushings. I can tell you the poly urethane works better under the hood bushings especially in cold weather. Just my 2 Cents!

 

poly is plastic and sumtimes tend to break though or no? another question - are these metal bushings compatible with the 9's too? or are they different from the 8's? http://lancershop.com/customer/produ...3&cat=6&page=1 i'll probably go with metal base and under hood, unless the poly r really better for under the hood ones.. still debating on which ss to get- kartboy, b&m, or the buschur one, hmmm...

 

any input on whether or not these metal base bushings will be compatible with the 9's? http://lancershop.com/customer/produ...3&cat=6&page=1 think ima grab these if they're compatible along w/the buschur under hood aluminum bushings.. any input would be highly appreciated, thanks.

 

ok i was looking at getting a short shift till i just read all this and saw that u can change the bushings wat does changing the bushings do ?
