I just bought a set of these from maperformance.com, and I wish I had done it the first day I bought my evo. It makes shifting much smoother, and I already have the aluminum buschur shifter (under hood) and shifter base bushings, blox front motor mount, and ingalls stiffy. It still made a noticable improvement in shifting.

I did notice a slight increase in noise and vibration at certain RPM ranges, but it's not bad at all. I'm not sure if that's due to having all the other drivetrain mods I just mentioned as well.

I can't explain why, but it definitely changed the sound of my exhaust as well. It gave it a more throaty wound, similar to a muscle car kind of sound. I kinda like it

I know the beatrush bushings were reviewed already, just wanted to let everyone know the torque solutions seem very similar, and are probably the best bang for buck mod I've done to the evo so far.

i was looking to get these, how was the install? i couldnt find a write up, how long did it take? did you have to press anything out or could it be done easily by ones self?

Very easy install, all you need are basic hand tools. It took me about 15 minutes to do mine.

Can you give me a link to the product?

Its easy if the billet pieces fit through the carrier without issue. For some reason one of mine didn't fit so I had to dremel the opening a little to make it go through. Otherwise pretty easy.

I noticed absolutely no difference. At the time I had just a WeaponR engine damper. Idk...

were you having any issues with shifting? I could see if you were already shifting smooth you wouldn't notice a change.

I did have an issue with one bushing fitting, and I also used a dremel. Only took a few seconds, and then it slipped right in.

The install is exactly the same as this one for the beatrush bushings

Anything you can do to tighten up the driveline slack will help out tremendously.. for 50.00 you cannot go wrong with these..

I have been thinking about getting a set too. I may just order some tonight!

I think I do shift more smoothly than the avg driver of an evo. Everyone that I let try my car end up clunking the diff on every freaking shift. But yea one bushing just would not go in no matter how much I tried. I was like eff it and I sanded down the edge of the hole with a dremel to let it slide it snugly.

weird? I had the exact same issue. All of the billet pieces went in smoothly except one. It was one of the ones towards the front of the car iirc. I ended using sand paper and a scotch brite pad to smooth it out little by little.

I did notice more noise transmitted in the cabin from the driveshaft. sort of a whine noise, at highway speeds and especially on decel (from 60+). I dont mind it too much as my evo is already making noises from the tre diff and walboro. I can confirm the torque solutions noise can be heard from outside the car. Last track event while another driver was taking laps on the evo, I could hear the driveshaft whine on decel from where I was standing close to the turn (behind the fence on turn 14 at Thunderhill, and on the bridge). It was making a sound similar in whine to a supercharged car, thought it was pretty cool actually. DD out on the streets probably wont be as exaggerated (sp?) as this was decelerating from 115 mph, fwiw.

on another note, the stock ones have a lot of slop that is designed into them to reduce these noises. Unless your doing for a performance gain Im not sure I would recommend them.

Not to talk any smack, but I bought the Torque solutions for under the shifter base. Every single one was a different height. I wasn't impressed.

considering that the driveshaft is centered in the carriers by a relatively compliant donut flap, i'm amazed that these solid bushings do anything. when i was pulling on the driveshaft of an evo 9 on a lift at english racing, the donut flap was way more compliant than the factory rubber bushings. i've now read several positive reviews on these things though, so i'm gonna have to give them a try.

I thought the same. Went of the positive reviews and installed it, but for me it did nothing. Not a huge loss time or money wise, it was worth a try.
