Works Shifter Bushing Compound
WORKS guys, explain to me the difference in the WRP Urethane in the Works shifter bushings, compare to regular urethane and poly-urethane. I'm at a cross road on deciding which one to buy! Oh, is there any deals on the whole setup (Shifter base & Cable bushings)
There's a vast array of polyurethane compounds available. We're leaning a little softer than what's used on our WRP suspension components (although significantly harder than the OEM rubber) on the cable/console bushings. Additionally, the process used to create the compound yields fewer air bubbles and a smoother finish, which leads to a more consistent product.
The cable bushings are also unique in that they incorporate a self-lubricating metal sleeve. Without the sleeve, we found that the urethane tends to bind and needs frquent lubrication--and even then isn't as easy to shift as we'd like. Going all metal leaves no give in the system, which can lead to excessive/premature wear on surrounding components. The WORKS cable bushings take the best of each (precision of the metal with the flexibility of the urethane) for a superior product.
We've considered packaging these items, but haven't officially done so. If you're looking to pick up both, we can probably work out some sort of discount

(Not even a decal in the box.)In any case I think their products are top notch and are well/fully engineered and track tested. The cable bushing and hose will go in with my new ACT HDSS+Streetlite.
I installed the console bushings in about 15 minutes and they made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my 2005 MR.
We'll see about that... It would be nice, but not necessary. If their watching this thread I can confirm with my receipt #4168.
I've spent alot of time drooling over goodies on their site. I'll be vacationing up near their facilities later in the year... Maybe time for some EVO goodness.

me too, got the shifter base bushing and also linkage units and no discount
haven't installed but the build is top notch and the best option once u not looking for solid metal pieces for these places

I just installed the cable bushings, and the grab shift knob. I thought i ordered the console bushings but im a big idiot and forgot to double check the cart. The bushings went in rather easily, and there is a definite difference. Also i was told by the rep i got the last 6-speed shift knob
