I've been doing some research on getting some new shifter bushings instead of those crappy stock rubber ones that are already in there. Anyone know of nice bushings that I should look at purchasing? poly? steel? what?

thanks

 

I take it you mean the underhood bushings and not shifter base bushings. I have brass underhood bushings. Unless your old bushings have an issue don't even bother. It made such a slight difference for me it wasn't even worth it.

 

Well I am having trouble... I believe it is coming from the underhood bushings because when i shift.. it seems to get stuck sometimes. It feels like some rubber getting stuck in the middle of my gears. Its weird.

 

I went with the poly bushings. Easy install for the shifter base bushings.

A lot crisper shifts, but I also have a SS clutch line, poly engine mounts, and brass under hood shifter bushings.

 

I got the AMS ones listed below. They are CNC Machined aluminum bushings. Tighting up the shifter feel a lot and won't tear like rubber. Buschur makes a nice set to.

You can also get the Shifter Base Bushings too.

Is there any advantage uses aluminum over poly or poly over aluminum?

 

speed-source.net only ones i used on my DSM and EVO under the hood and for the base of the shifter. it was a more direct shift and you can feel it. morelike the rifle bolt action. Which shift are you having issues with because it could always be syncros holding it up......

 

AmS underhood/shifter/shifter base bushing & up/lower ss clutch line by AmS also a wighted shift knob! that will do the trick. that what i have you will feel real big chang with the shif knob i promis you! =)

 

no vibration and solid shifts

 

I had good luck with the speed source underhood shifter bushings. I definitely noticed a difference in shifter feel. It gave the shifter more of a solid feel going into gear as opposed to the stock rubber bushings which had a flimsy feel to them.

 

I'm also using the Speed Source bushings and am happy with them. Makes a nice difference, especially for the price.

Im looking at both ams and speed source. Im prolly going to all of it eventually. I would like to get both underhood and base from the same place though. Keep the opinions and reviews coming!!

thanks

 

I have the speed source under hood bushing and I felt a difference with them. The rubber feel is definetly gone with my shifting.

 

so who has used the CNC underhood mounts the longest without any syncro problems...

 

definately get the AMS ones. just make sure to use some white lithium grease on them
