if you didn't see any bushings then you have problems. They go in the center of the bottom of the shifter (the part that looks like an eye), around the bearing that you put the bolt through to hook upthe shift linkage.

The mounts go on the stabalizer rod - 1 at the bottom of shifter & the other located on the trans end - very simple to install - cheap - a must with short shifter

The bushings wear over time resulting in a sloppy shifter feel, with the poly bushings your shifter will be very tight. If you want it tighter(i dont recommend) you could use B&M solid aluminum mounts. I personally like ES over Prothane, its all the same shit.
