shifter kit
I was looking at the shifter bushing kits by RRE, etc, . They say that they elimnate the sloppiness of the shifter giving it a more precise feel.
My question: what is the ease of install, in man hours, for a 2G turbo shifter bushing kit?

Re: shifter kit

Re: shifter kit
they are the best 35 bucks i have ever spent!!!
it is a cheap mod that changes your shifts from sloppy to sticky. your shifter will feel llike a million bucks. this is also in connection with getting a B&M short shifter. i was having slight issues [very slight] missing 3rd WOT at 50% redux. this kit fully solved it. shifts feel solid as a rock. install was about an hour taking my sweet ass time. super simple and there are great instructions.

Re: shifter kit
wow. All the bushing kits I have looked at for our cars have 2 washer-like pieces. Is that all? Where did you get yours, Vince?

Mach V did say for all eclipses, but they also carry a small amount of n\t products. Can I get that kit for the n\t's?
Also, I think Shpyder and Boosted seem to be the spyder representatives, or maybe the spyder twins.

Re: shifter kit
The OD has to match the cabel end. It should press in with a big pair of channel locks or vice grips. The ID has to fit over the pin on the trans shift linkage. I dont konw the size/part number, but I've seen it posted.

Re: shifter kit
i don't know how much roller blade bearings are, but 35 bucks ain't much.
but again, i have to say that the full potential for these are not going to be felt without an aftermarket short shifter... spyder guyz rule...

Re: shifter kit
All shorter shifters by the wya they work narrow the window you have to get into a given gear. At my power level, a half assed engagement is garanteed to scatter my tranny the length of the track. I would rather have a little more leeway and just move my hand faster
The roller blade bearings on thier own were a huge improvement. I got rid of the rubber washers on the bracket mount as well.
