I got a B&M short shifter for free from a friend, but all I have is the shifter and instructions. He didn't have the bushings or the lube thing.

It says I need these:

4 - Bushing, 3/8"ID x 1/2"OD
2 - Bushing, 9/16"ID x 3/4"OD
3 - Bushing, 9/16"ID x 3/4"OD

Is there any way to get them? I tried msging a couple of ebay stores but they just tell me they don't sell them seperatly. I know they typically don't, but I thought if they're a dealer can't they just as B&M for them and they would give them for free (and they would sell them to me for 5-10$, I don't expect to get them for free obviously)? It's just bushings, they're worth 10 cents.

I mean there MUST be a way for acquire these, what if someone damages or loses theirs before getting a chance to install?

PLEASE help me out and let me know if I can get them or where I can buy somethign to substitute them with!!

Thanks guys.

 

I don't know how special they are but they're just rubber o rings. I would imagine you could just use some washers and make sure it's tight so it won't vibrate.

 

I would call B&M 818 882 6422, or try your local speed shop.....good luck......

 

Thanks guys! I just wanted to post the results here, I called B&M, and their customer service is amazing, I spoke to someone who knew exactly what they're talking about, and guy simply asked what shifter and what car and for my address and said he'd drop it off in the mail for me! Amazing service.

I just have a couple of quick questions
1) The bushings are the same for the dual bend and the single bend right?
2) I am also missing the "grease packet" but I didn't want to bother him with that I figured I would just buy it in a store... anyone know what kind of grease to buy.. it says "Lithium grease packet" -- would a car part store have this ?

Thanks!

Edit: Oh btw I'm picking up the enegry suspension shifter bushings so I can replace them while I'm in there lol -- that comes with some grease, can I just use that for the shifter as well? Thanks.

Any high quality grease should be fine. I've used lithium grease and high-temp urea wheel bearing grease before. You can find a wide selection of grease at any auto parts store.
