Well i bought the 8pc Poly shifter bushing in order to allow for a little slack and cut down on the abuse that the metal shifter bushings would cause.. if any.. I will be replacing my under the hood bushings with metal, but the shifter i went with poly. Anyone think this is a good way to go, or would metal shifter bushings have been the way to go?

Thanks

 

i would go for polyurethane because metal bushing would wear out the parts around it

 

yea my thoughts exactly, im going for metal under the hood, but as for shifter.. i went poly.

 

im staying stock in shifter and under hood changing to brass, i wonder the same thing if it will wear anything out i mean that stress has to go somewhere????

 

what do you mean by it will waer out parts around it?...i have both metals bushings installed...it feels normal now...but it felt great when i first installed. whats going to happen in the long run?

 

You are just used to the crisp shifting now I applied some bearing grease to my under hood bushings to prevent wear.

 

I have the poly for the shifter and the metal under the hood.

 

I've had both metal sets for quite some time now with no ill efects at all...

 

Any stickiness when shifting into any gears w/ the metal under the hood bushings? I installed the brass shifter cable bushings into my GSX and now it's really sticky when shifting into 5th gear and reverse.

 

No, but I used anti seize on them upon install... I worked in aerospace for too long to just slip dissimilar metals together and let it ride.

 

Same here, I gave the contact surfaces a good coating of white lithium grease before I put them in.
