Who here has used them on there car, and has it made the shifting better or worse. Please explain in detail.

 

it came with my neuspeed short shifter. it feels much better then stock. gears goes in very tight and no slip.

 

damn straight.
it feels so much nicer
and they are only like 15 buck at pep boys.

i am sure that someone on here will point out how stiff bushings can cause an innerstellar time warp or how they make your flux capacitor reach critical mass, or some other such horseshit, but i can definatley say that i see no downside to it. it was probably the best 15 buck i ever spent on my car. just for comparison sake, it felt to me more like i was shifting an s2000 than a civic. it made a big difference.

it seems that here is allways someone pointing out the ill effects of stiff bushings but surely this is one spot that they are wrong.

Nice write up

 

i have a ? if i didnt use the loob on those bushings does it matter?

 

I have them, didn't notice much of a difference as far as stiffness goes but was a smoother shifting back and fouth thanks to the old weather rotting bushings being tossed out.

 

Question: I got the $10 Energy Suspension kit from Summit and installed it today on my '93. It made a slight difference, but I can still wiggle the shifter side to side while it's in gear. Where can I get the bushing to fix this?

 

i don't know. but i do know that after i put them in after awhile i noticed a rattle sometimes when i downshifted. so i found out that the weight on the shift linkage was pressing against the bracket that mounts to the chasis so i gorilla glued a piece of radiator hose between them
