+1 I installed mine a couple weeks ago. I noticed a big difference, but I'm very sensitive to changes in my car.

I got the speed source brass from Lancershop.... they work pretty good, feels a lot better... but if I could do it all over again (which I can and probably will) I'd go with Works shifter AND base bushings.

btw, do yourself a favor and do this install on a warm day; lest the stock bushings drive you made being cold fused to the rings they sit in Also, regardless of the material of the bushings you buy, coat the **** with anti-seize before you install it.

a bit off topic but my evo 9 has 5000 miles on it, will low mileage cars benefit from a kit or only if the bushings are worn, what are they improvments?

^ If you don't feel any trouble at all with shifting during spirited driving... if you like how the shifting feels stock, the bushings are probably not something you need worry about. I did it for the sharper shifting feel. if you can, find someone that already has it installed and ask them if you can just shift it around a couple times while it's parked. You'll know what I'm talking about then.

Check these guys out at http://www.speed-source.net/ I had mines in for over a year or two, still shifts smooth and direct. I recommend all the bushing for under the hood and for the shifter base. Trust me on this.

Should be $56 total for everything, takes less then an hour to install yourself if you know what you are doing.

i got the buschur underhoods on my car, and i like them a lot. they give a lot nicer, more "confident" shifting feel. with a smoother action in to all of the gears.

i believe the BR kit is around 30 some dollars, give or take, for the two bushings.

If you're having trouble getting in gear and you know there isn't anything wrong with your syncro's and your tranny fluids are changed as regularly as they should be, I don't think this will help as much as changing out your front engine mount with a stiffer one.

Yeah I'm running the SpeedSource brass linkage bushings right now. Not bad at all. Only reason I'm considering the change to works is because they sell both the linkage AND base bushings. Not to mention there is a little give in theirs to help with tranny longevity. I'm only considering at this point anyway... we'll see.
