Shifter Bushings
I just got a B&M short shifter for my d16y8 sol, I was wondering if I should go ahead and get new shifter bushings from energy suspension.
They're not expensive at all, I just wondered if anyone has had any experience with them since I'm not sure what upgrading the bushings would do and if it would be worth it. Thanks!

Re: Shifter Bushings (EKsnatchback)
they're only 20 bucks shipped...I am debating because I might as well change them while I have it all apart...my shifter now doesn't feel loose or anything close so I bet the bushings are still good....anyone else?

Re: Shifter Bushings (Evil_gambit33)
My friend got a generic poly shifter bushing set. In my opinion it feels too notchy now. It's also kind of loud...I guess some people like it being really stiff/notchy, and the 'click click' sound when you're shifting, but when I drive a car like that it makes me think something is wrong with the transmission.
I like it silky smooth instead of 'clickity clickity'

Re: Shifter Bushings (Jonathan_EH)
i dont get a "click" sound when shifting...but with my neuspeed bushings and skunk 2 ss, i feel like i get more solid shifts. you can feel it engage, there is a slight rattle that you hear everyonce and a while.
over all i would get them again with out a doubt.

Re: (kommon_sense)
Ive got the bushings and it does make a big difference. My shifter does make the click sound. A must for a short shifter plus there is vary little play. For a 20 i say why not give it a try for your self.

Re: (jxzee121)
I have the Energy Suspension shifter bushings with a DC Sports short shifter. I really like the feel of the shifter now as opposed to the stock one I had.

I have a short shifter cut about 2 inches lower and urethane bushings. That thing is super tight and definitely took some getting used to. Much better than the footlong throws of the stock Si shifter.

Same here. I run the stock shifter with Prothane bushings. Only cost me $13 from a local shop. (Read EkREV's sig. ) I ditched my DC Sports short shifter for this setup, and I like it much better. Without the bushings, stock felt very imprecise and sloppy. With the Prothane bushings installed, shifting action is much more positive, precise, and firm. I absolutely love it. And you can't beat it for the price. It is a little notchy, but it's a definite improvement over stock.

Re: (B2FiNiTY)
shifter bushings are worth the $20. i like how all my shifts feel nice and crisp. while you're at it, get the motor mount inserts too.
