Kartboy shifter linkage bushings install
On the website http://www.kartboy.com/products.html there are only bushings for the evo. Are these the same as the ones for the lancer? Also is the shift knob threaded the same for the evo and the lancer?
this might help (keeping in mind the kartboy linkage bushings are two pieces each, not one like the speedsource):

there are two cable ends and a pair of bushing halves for each end. one cable end takes the small bushing halves, the other takes the large ones.
for each cable end, one bushing half fits into the bottom of the cable end, the other onto the top. you sandwich them tightly, put them back on the pin, replace the washer, and then put back the cotter clip.

ez76 explained the other questions perfectly. The four bushings you receive are really four halves. The stock bushings are one piece, but the Kartboy just come in pieces.
I had the same problem when i installed mine, tried a screwdriver but just ended up sucking it up and pushing them out with my hands. I found the small one was the hardest simply cause i couldn't get a good grip on just the rubber section of it. It was a pain of an install especially with the stock airbox still there but was definitely worth it.
okkkk so...im confused..... i ordered these....now....i got a package #1 with 2 big ones and 2 small ones.....and a package #2 with 4 (all the same size).......once again im still confused.. the package #1 is for the linkages and package #2 is for the shifter base?...i dunno i feel like i need a little more clarification...
and like in the install instructions.....i see your only installing 2 big ones...now where do the small ones go??? i feel like a kid that wasn't paying attention in class....=\
