Bushings are bushings. The poly bushings you find now are all really the same. Get the cheapest ones you can find

as far as shifter bushings go, I agree.

you know, full bushing sets aren't that expensive. Energy sells them pretty cheap. and it includes shifter bushings...something to look into.

Not really. Me and my pal tried out the Energy ones and the Cusco ones. The Energy ones sucks. Way too squishy and the shifting feels vague. The Cusco ones are superb. Really tightens everything up. And when u squeeze both, u can feel that the Cusco ones are really HARD!

Just an observation but the shifter bushings are intended to be a little soft to reduce the harshness of the shifts. If the bushings are rock hard and you like to shift "aggressively" (like i do) you will wreak your synchros in short order (like i am)

I am a big fan of prothane bushings.

i'd recommend them. their set for the shifter comes with the little metal pipes that go through the bushing which goes by the shift lever.

small little detail. good ****.

i love their motor mount inserts. off da hook!

you are supposed to reuse the stock metal tubes on the ES bushings.

Are the urethane inserts for the motor mounts good? Or should i go for the ones that are "molded" in the mounts?

I know this.

But it's nice having new shiney ones with the Prothane kit.
