Ok so I've never had to actually replace them because I don't slam gears or rag them out but the car I have is kind of sloppy as far as shifting.

I noticed they have shifter base bushings and shifter cable bushings.... Which one's would I need to make the shifter feel stiffer again? It pops back in the middle nice and tough but side-side/ up-down is really loose feeling would this be the cable bushing?

 

Cable bushings. Torque soulutions and buschur racing are two I've been looking at. Both are about $30 good luck.

You might pop your hood and wiggle the cable ends at the tranny to double check and make sure that's where the play is.

 

ok good idea, i just realized they are both pretty cheap might just replace them all for 45$ car has 100k so probably needs it anyways! thanks

 

The bushings help the over all feel, but the side to side is a spring on the side of the shifter base. I replaced cable and base with all Works bushings and their short shifter and shifting feels much better.

 

I just ordered Trq Solutions Base/shifter bushings for 48$ shipped. I'll look at the spring when I pull the interior out to do the base bushings. Maybe its a easy fix...

 

All metal bushings felt tons better than the poly ones. Anything will be better than fatigued oem rubber though for sure.

 

Yea I got the AMS base and underhood ones a while ago feels a 100% better

 

Agreed, torque solutions shifter base/under bonnet bushings, massive difference in gear engagement for me. shifting feels solid.

I might look into putting in a short shifter in the near future too.

 

If you plan on picking up either bushing set, you may as well get both.

 

I had underhood metal ones installed, Agency Power. My OEM ones were rusted on and had to be mangled to get off. After the new ones were installed I HATED THEM!! at first. It was really hard to find gears and reverse was goofy. I since have put a few drops of 3in1 oil in the center of the bushings and about 1500 miles and they are worn in a bit and feel much better.

 

You know something, I wonder if all the folks who replace the bushings, think they are getting an improvement, because the stock ones need a little lube to get things going, and when you put in the new one, it loosens things up a a bit. All you need is a little lube...

 

Trini^ get me some doubles!

 

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!! No boy!!!

 

i replaced cable bushings with buschur racing ones,feel no differences.

 

I replaced the stock cable bushings with Ebay metal bushings. Shifts much tighter. Maybe new rubber would done the same.

Tranny seems a bit slower to warm up, however.
