Default How to change Shift linkage Bushings.. ??

Ok.. I got my Spoon Shifter Bushings for a while now.. and planning to use it since I finally get a C's with it..
now.. where are those 2 Black round bushings go? (one is flat, one is kinda flared in)
I got HELMS, but it doesn't really show those things..
and I better ask than be sorry after tearing apart my R, right?

Pics or any help will be very helpful!!

just always makes me wonder why people would spend so much on shifter bushings.. like mugen or spoon.. hell, they GOTTA be over $100.00 i'm sure.

prothane or energy makes 'em for $10.00 or less, and the performance is great.

Mugen is $55...not sure about Spoon. But yeah, I think that this is one of those cases where the $10 will do the same thing.

Yup.. talk about a rip-off. Just because it comes w/ the label "Spoon" or "mugen" doesn't mean it's any better. Just buy the ES ones.

Anyway, I think you're referring to the shift stabilizer bushings. Take out the 12mm bolt on the tranny holding it in and those are the 2 round bushings. The other one is the one on the end of the shift stabilizer bar. Just slide it off and put the new one on. Pretty straight forward..

the two round ones go on the trans end of the stabilizer bar
the other one replaces the bushing on the other side of the same bar.

Go take a look at your car. you'll understand.
