I bought the 2pc Under-hood Stiff Bushings Kit from lancershop and BOY do they work. The notchiness that everyone complains about it totally gone. Every gear slips right into place without any hesitation. It used to feel like it wouldnt go in perfect, but with these bushings it is the total opposite! I advocate everyone go and buy these along with the shifter bushing used on the shifter itself.

 

these will be my next mods along with a shiftlight, nice to know they have them ready now and that they do indeed work, thanks for the heads up.

 

Yes I would highly recomend these. I was having problems with the 1st to 2nd gear shift in the higher rpms and this fixed that. It also feels much better switching gears as there is more feel when going into gear.

 

I agree, I love the way they feel...Now I need to add a short shifter and the other bushings

 

How hard was the install . I may buy these along with a short shifter from KB.

 

It was an easy install. You have to remove the battery and battery tray and its a little more trouble if you want to install the bushing for reverse (its hidden underneath the regular linkage). It does come with good instructions so you shouldnt have any problem.

 

Sweet . I got the small buschur battery and UIP so that should very easy

 

Short shifter+bushings+under hood bushings=BADASS shifting

 

What's the difference between the 2pc bushings, and the 8pc stiff shifter bushings (purpose-wise)?

 

What is an under hood bushing? Is that an engine mount bushing? There are lots of bushings under the hood - never heard this term before.

 

Hmmmm,

I don't really have any complaint about how my EVO shifts...

I hated my wife's WRX shifter before the Kartboy short shifter and bushings. I think it's noticeably shorter than my EVO. Now that I think about it, maybe I'll get the Kartboy for my EVO, my birthday isn't too far away . Is the Kartboy as nice for the EVO? I know Tom from KB is on here and I think he has an EVO, right?

how much did you gys paid for that i might order the same thing...

 

Could someone post pictures of this install. I just compleated install of a perrin short shifter and the metal shifter bushings that I purchased from Lancershop.com. I am considering the under hood kit, but would like to see how difficult it is to install first. Thanks

 

Well I didnt get any pics of the install but here is a pic of where this linkage is located. The reverse linkage sits below the one you see and is turned sideways. The reverse bushing doesnt need to be installed but it will give reverse gear a better feel.

 

I was actually waiting a review on those mods and now ready to buy them.
thanks for the pic also
