I am replacing the shift rod #14 and installing a short shifter #1. Helms manual says to replace #25 the o-rings and spring pin #29. Previously, I installed the Energy Suspension shifter bushings.

1) What is the best lubricating grease?
2) Is there anything else I should consider replacing while I am in there as the car is 16 years old? Dust seals #7 ($12) & #12 ($8)? Boot #6 ($14)?

 

Replace the shifter bushing, #8. Lubricate with a silicone paste, Shin-Etsu grease is nice, but maybe $, I dunno, I never pay for it.

 

I can't remember, but was that not included in the ES bushing kit.

 

No they are not, they are extra $. All the important bushing that ES sells are not included.

 

What about #16.

 

not included. You can order a shift linkage bushing kit thing and it includes the 2 bushings. it's like $7.

 

#16 and #18 ARE included in the master set i have one, only #16 doesnt fit if you have a b swap you have to buy the b- one

You know what, you are right...they ARE indeed included. I forget that I bought mine used and the guy took 'em out so I had to order a new kit. My bad

 

What about #8? Is it in with the ES SHIFTER bushing kit?

Nope, but it would be wise to buy a new one. My shifter had play, then i changed #8 (about $10) and no play . I also changed #12 (mine had a tear) so no dirt can get in and prematurely wear out #8.

 

Well damn. How about #7?

Thats another dust boot. Check yours for rips/tears.

I looked in my factory service manual for the 93 Integra about this bushing, if i can recall correctly (because i just changed #8 out) no lubricant was called for.
