Short Shifter Bushings
I'm putting my short shifter in today and I know there are 2 bushing i should put in with it but I dont know what they are called... does anyone know? TIA
Re: Short Shifter Bushings (EM199dcs)
The bushings are for the stabilizer bar. Basically, it makes the bar more stable during shifting. There's a round one that bolts to the tranny side of the bar and the rectangular one that bolts to the shifter side of the bar.

Barely feel any difference to tell you the truth. I hate putting in bushings, everything's a tight fit.

The energy suspension and B&M bushings are NOT exactly same.
Energy suspension = urethane bushing
B&M = anondized metal.
I had the B&M bushing kit and I thought it was ten times more solid than the Energy Suspension Set.
That is why there is a price difference.

O thats why that is such a big price difference. I was wondering what kind of material they would be made of to be that much more expensive then energy.

Right now my shifter is very shaky. Would getting these bushings "stabilize" my ****/shifter? It constantly vibrates while its in gear and I wanna get rid of that.

Personally I have no experience with these.. yet, but I would say no. They help to firm up the shifter feel, but im not so sure it would help isolate it from vibrations since its made from firmer polyurethane. Since civics are directly shifted with no cables, you might want to check your motor mounts as the source of the vibration.
