I am looking at replacing the manual tranny bushings in my wifes bone stock '99 EX sedan daily driver. The stock bushings are hard and are making shifting less than ideal.

Which of these sets are the best for normal use?

Are the red or black better? Poly or other? The ones with the greease and the metal inserts better than just the bushings?

Page doesn't have anything

I'd recommend Energys though. They feel good

 

Sorry I removed it. Red or black poly better?

 

I have the black ones for my 96 ex and they feel really good.

 

Cool,

 

Pretty sure it doesn't matter.

I've had both (black on D-series, red on B-series) and there wasn't any significant difference.

 

OK, so black and red are no differint just color. Guess i will go for black for the stock look.

 

lol who's gonna look under your car and be like "h000ezz snap! my mans got red bushings! its gotz to be fast!"

 

The best bushings are the ones attached to a GSR shift linkage and transmission and engine in your 99 EX. The brand won't matter on your Y8

 

OK, Summit has them for $11, can't go wrong there. I seewhere the split bushing goes now where does the rectangular mount go?

 

on the underside of the shifter. U have to pull it out from the car and you will see. They are really easy to replace.

 

Check the DIY thread at the top of the page. There's a DIY for a shifter bushing(s) install.

 

I bought the Energy Susp. black shifter bushings and installed them a few days ago. I dont know how they compare to the red ones but the ones I have feel great. Very solid and much less side to side play when in gear.
