shifter base bushings

Htuner34 · 01-11-2007, 04:29 PM

Hey guys, got the base bushings in via ups on tuesday. Very happy with the shipping and the responses ya'll have given me. Installed the bushings wednesday. VERY easy install. Took me 15 minutes with unbolting and sliding back the center console. Took the Si around for a short spirited drive after i finished and WOW! Currently i have the Comptech short throw shifter, Corsport metal shifter cable bushings and now the base bushings installed. So far everything has worked wonderfully. Great job guys! keep up the great work! I will definitly buy from ya'll in the future.

Does it help the 2nd gear high RPM grind at all??

lovin_it06 · 02-02-2007, 11:10 AM

Htuner34 · 02-02-2007, 11:50 AM

Mattzilla · 02-04-2007, 02:27 AM

I'd say the shift linkage bushings. After putting them in my shifts felt a lot more crisp. Then last night, I put in the base bushings, and the ss, and honestly couldn't tell that much of a difference. I can tell there's a ss on there now, but as far as the base bushings go....? I drove Batang's Si, and his shifts feel totally different then mine. I really don't know what to say

Htuner34 · 02-05-2007, 03:28 PM

its just stiffer shifting thats about it...

Lit06Si · 05-01-2007, 11:03 PM

I just ordered both. I hope the difference is worth the money. I could've saved it for the R/T Cat

Mikagami · 06-25-2007, 03:43 PM

I'm going to be ordering a set soon...As it stands I have Royal Purple in my tranny, the comptech SS, skunk2 knob, and corsport shifter bushings...I figured I might as well spend a tiny bit more and go for a completely custom shifter :P:P
