Atkins Shifter Bushings?

Well, since Mazdatrix is being a bastard and for whatever reason is not letting me order in any way, shape or form through the internet...I'm thinking about taking my business to Atkins.

I see only two blue ones and one 'spring'...? Where as Mazdatrix offers a blue softer bushing and a harder white nylon bushing and a spring for each?

I don't use the soft blue one, just two white ones. I have had to dig out the pices of the blue one when it went to hell.

Try Mazda dealer for that.

I got a new set of shifter bushings from my local dealer. You need to get part# 9996-33-330 (spacer@ 50 cents) and kit 8AF1-17-481 (kit of 3 parts @ 8.90$) Took two days to get from central warehouse and it cost me less than anything I could find on the net. OK, so I had to go there to order then pick the parts but I'm quite impressed with one dude in the parts dept. who is very patient and willing to help at this dealership. Also got all of the rubber boots and felt fillers for under the shifter boot at the same time for around 80$.

Try using internet explorer. I had a problem ordering and called them up - they told me that their site isn't compatible with firefox at the moment.
