  • Bulk Buy #2: 1g & 2g UHMWP Shifter Slop Reducing Bushings

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING.
    This has been approved by stacy_b.



    My bushings have been bought and installed on well over 100 cars across the world (litterally... i've shipped them to at least 17 different countries), ALL with nothing but positive results.

    After many many PMs and emails about them i've decided to run another bulk buy as the exact same terms as before.


    These will fit any G series mazda transmission. Included (but not limited to):
    First and Second generation (88-97) Probe, mx6, 626,

    Both sides are also confirmed to fit: Mx3s,

    The transmission side will fit all mx3s, 323s, 91-96 Ford Escort GT and 90-94 Mazda Protege. I am unsure on the shifter side.


    As far as any short shifters go, I know that with my ebay SS (and one other) my shifter bushings did not reduce the slop as much as stock. They have a different bore size. If your SS uses stock bushings, then you WILL see an improvement, but it may not be as tight as a stock shifter.


    Installation:
    They can be installed without any specialty tools within about 45 minutes. With air tools and a lift it can be done in about 10 minutes.
    You must remove the horizontal crossmember (6 - 17mm bolts. I have been informed that this is not a MUST, but it surely makes things easier), and then remove the nut (12mm) off the bottom of the bolt that goes thru these bushings/transmission. Slide out the old bolt, removed old bushings, and install the UHMWP bushings. They may be a tight fit into the trans, so a pair of channel locks could come in handy. Line up your shifter rod and slide the bolt back thru, this may also be a tight fit.

    Shifter side simply uses a 13mm nut/bolt to hold the shifter thru a set of bushings and a metal sleeve. You do not need to remove the exhaust, all you will need to temporarily bend the shield it out of the way.

    Here are the UHMWP bushings next to the Shifter Rod, and a set of very good stock bushings:


    Here are a couple pictures of them installed in the transmission:

    In this picture you can see the thru bolt in the backround:

    Here are both Shifter side (left, 2gen only mx6/probe) Tranny side (right, both sides for most others) bushings.


    If you want zero slop, then buy a set of trans and shifter side (combo).
    If you only buy one set (trans or shifter), it is your responsibilty to decide which one you need, but i will stronglysuggest the trans side.

            These bushings are amazing. I installed them along with the short shifter I bought a year ago and I went from having about 4inches of play to literally a half inch.

                          Honestly I had the oem bushings from Mazda and there literally half the thickness.

                            stock OEM ones are made to no where near the tolerances mine are (they are cast plastic, mine are each individually lathed to within .005" of what they need to be. And machining plastic to that tolerance is HARD).

                            oem ones are also made from some regular plastic and wear away super fast.

                            I also beleive that they are like 22$ from mazda.

                              these are great. I have had them on my mx6 and i have them on my probe now. My probe still had stock bushings in good condition, but just the shifter side still made a difference. I have been too lazy to install the trans side.
