DIY: SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS(Si only) - Page 6

yobbr5 · 01-26-2008, 04:41 PM

just finished installing my bushings, ive had them for a while now but ive been lazy. I can feel a little differience but nothing to crazy because i also have the corsport SS. The only thing is getting out of reverse is a little tight. It is smooth and crisp. Nice parts!!!

I noticed they dont have any like C-rings or anything, just the bushings. I asked my friend and he said they never had any..So do I use stock parts?

***Zeuceone*** · 02-08-2008, 07:11 PM

you can buy some.

i dont think i really noticed any difference with the bushings...i thought it would be tight and hard to shift but everythings pretty much the same. i also have the ss...but i guess i'd really notice a difference if i took it out just to see...

Just installed my bushings!! What a difference everything is much tighter. My clutch is even harder to press. It's prob cuz I couldnt get the bushings in cuz it was such a tight fit..so I had to hammer them in!! Took me about an hour to do.

I didn't have snap ring pliers either... I had to buy a set for 9$ at the auto store. It was pretty hard to get on even with those... and probably almost impossible to get them on without (I tried for 30 min). Kudos to the person in an earlier post that got them on without the pliers.

Also.. I dropped the C (E) ring into my engine bay to be lost forever.. I had to go to the store to buy another one but had a bit of trouble finding the right size. I stretched out a 5/8" one a little with some snap ring pliers and it seemed to go on for the time being... something a little bigger may fit if you happen to lose yours too.

Oh and to top it off, I lost daylight about 1/2 way through and got bitten all over my legs by mosquitos...

I seem to just have bad luck when it comes to DIY stuff : ( Good luck to others who are gonna do this lol.

Yeah-I did the MTF fluid, looked into these CABLE BUSHINGS, researched what the hell was a tripple coned synchro, etc.

JUST SIGN THE TRANNY RECALL PETITION. THATS THE ONLY REAL FIX FOR THIS CRAP.

Nice Write Up! Thanks!

doing this install now. ROYAL pain in the ass.

feegeebloo · 04-07-2008, 09:39 AM

I used the ones I bought for my 02 type S.... they fit fine... the big bushing wasn't much fun, but i banged it in there...

20strong · 04-07-2008, 09:50 AM

They are called split rind pliers.
Nice DIY.

Just installed mine, the big bushing sucked. took an hour or so of numerous methods.

NewYorkJon · 05-19-2008, 06:36 PM

Just Finished putting them in now. Man what a pain in the ass, and my back really hurts. But at least I did it by myself, I cut my left hand though, so I guess its really my car now, lol

My impressions are that it feels the same except everything feels alot tighter, If you go pass vtec in Second gear it feels like it did not go in, but it does. The clutch feels alil harder to press in as well. Good part, worth the money, just a pain in the ass.

Why would the clutch feel harder to press in? These bushings have nothing to do with the clutch, at all.

i'd like to know the same....

I just finished installing my bushings and ss. I recommend putting the bushings in the freezer like some of the other users suggested, they will go on really easy.

Yea, the bushings would not affect the clutch pedal feel at all.

The ss and the bushings really help!

LOL...if that's the case then I should stop making my car payments now cuz honda will never own this car as much as me

IceMurder · 07-25-2008, 10:49 PM

pain in the ass to get the small bushing on

but i figured out a trick to get the stock bushings out, just put a screw driver through the hole and tilt it and the stock bushing pops right out

IceMurder · 07-26-2008, 04:57 PM

I did mess one thing up when i installed mine though, this rubber piece around the shift cable slid out of the bigger rubber piece it was in...this isnt going to affect anything down the road is it?
