    Metal shifter bushings.

    Does anyone know a source for metal bushings, instead of the plastic ones? Yesterday I was driving and thought I was locked out of first, until I looked at it and saw my shifter arm wobbles pretty bad now. They are 10 years old since I had them replaced.

    I'd like to see an option for those of us wanting to keep the factory shifter and get ball bearings made to fit. Kinda like the 3sx short throw.

    Ninja Performance also carries the shifter base bushing and cable bushings (but not the cable bearings.)

    I mean the ones that slide into the shift lever, not the base or cables. I already have those.

    Pete, I think that the larger of those two needs to have some twisting movement allowable to prevent from binding. (you need to allow for movement side to side as well as front to back.)

    I have the solid base bushing installed on my shifter. I have all solid bushing, the base, the shift level cables and the ones on the transmission. I got them all from the same ebay seller

    http://stores.ebay.com/splitmotorsports/

    He has the shifter base bushing in aluminum, the shifter bushing in aluminum or brass and for the trans bushing I just used a set of the shifter bushing in aluminum and modified them to fit.

    My shifter is very solid now. I also have a RalliArt short shifter and the only grinds I have are from worn out syncros...
