+1 OP - have you got your torque solutions yet? i've been looking at base and under hood bushings too (from torque solutions) , as well as drive shaft bushings, will it make the car more smooth and better daily drive feel ?
edit: also does torque solutions under hood being delrin material mean they dont need to be greased/lubed up ?

both the underhood and base bushings are definitely a good mod, you can also upgrade your transmission fluid for a smoother feel, and if you really want to "shift likes its butta" as some would say, upgrade your trans and TC, either bushwacker or shep trans

I did the bushcur under the hood and shifter base bushings along with a front motor mount all at the same time. Personally i felt the shifting was a bit smoother. I beleive you can pick up the torque solution shifter base bushings off amazon for $21 shipped. Its a nice inexpensive mod. You can also pick up their front motor mount for $75 with free shipping off amazon. I would recomend doing both at the same time.

I got both under hood and shifter base from a vendor on Ebay both torque solutions for 44$ shipped. They made a world of difference in shifting. It is certainly more firm and precise haven't had any issue getting into gear after installing them.

cheers for the reply ! i ordered my torque solutions base n cable bushings and are otw ! i also added the driveshaft ones too. i didnt get rear diff/mustache ones yet as i dont have a press and am jst doing DIY installs, also i've heard they might b different as i have a JDM evo8. i already have torque solutions front MM, am looking forward to these !.. raced a 600cbr before, without a doubt i was going to lose, but i missed 4th which made it even worse .. for some reason i miss 4th the most, of all gears ?? lol !
