AMS shifter base bushings

I just recieved these today, and realized there is 4 aluminum bushings in silver and then 4 black bushings that look like their washers.


I was expecting all 8 to look the same, like the picture in their ad but I guess not. http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...-Bushings.html



I just want to make sure that is how they come before I install them thanks!

Just to hijack this thread. I did do a search on this forum.

Does this shifter bushing really helps in Shifting feel & precision?

These are not AMS shifter Base bushings.

All 8 of our bushings are aluminum and are the same. You can view the AMS Shifter Base Bushings here:

Yeah that's what I was expecting them to look like, on extremepsi's website they had the same exact picture. That's why when I recieved them I thought they were not right. As seen here- http://www.extremepsi.com/store/cust...0VIII%20&%20IX


Thanks for confirming this Andrew!

They don't even look like that either lol.

Anyway contacted extremepsi, they said they will sort it out.

Will see what happens in the time being gotta wait.
