Best place to buy shifter bushing kit at?
Need to replace EVERYTHING in the shifter .. its sloppier then a hooker in South Miami. Atkins?
Whos got the best price? |
i dont know about price, but mazdatrix will have everything
|
you will pay the same price everywhere, but I just replaced mine again ( damm 10 years go by fast ) in my vert and ordered it from Mazdatrix. You may want to spend a little more and buy both boots too.
|
dont most of the ebay short shifter kits come with all the bushings too?
|
they arent very expensive anywhere you buy them.
|
one thing I highly recommend is getting the lower shifter bushing from MMR
http://www.mmr-direct.net/store/defa...r-bushing.html I bought the $50 bushing from mazdatrix, only to find out that it looks like you would have to drop the transmission to replace it. The MMR bushing is a simple drop in affair. my old lower bushing had completely liquefied, there was nothing left, I replaced that bushing and it solved my problems (I had already checked all my other bushings) |
im getting a rattling sound from teh shifter, but if i place my hand on it, it goes away.. is that the bushing?

As far as the very bottom bushing goes, punch out the old white bushing (it it's still there) and make your own. Safe yourself the money and hassle.

can you not read?
If you have to replace the one in the last picture- then you have a hard time. |
please read the link I posted.
You guys are really complicating this |
the link you posted is for the 2 under the shifter, there is another one down into the transmission

Im lucky in that I never had to do the bottom one, but the last time I ordered bushings I was looking at that one and thought to get it, its expensive so I figured why not try the simple cheaper ones first and see what happens.

The mazdatrix pic. above shows how the bushing has openings near the bottom. A good pick set will yank it out. The small ball below the big one of the shifter acts on this. Used on the S5's. The rattling is common on some aftermarket shifters, but can happen on factory ones with worn bushings or springs. On both sides of the big ball ;) you should have (going closest to farthest) bushing, washer spring.

all that stuff was replaced I think when I got my short shifter. I do have a related question. What do I do about the shifter bolts threading all the way down but wont tighten due to being stripped out? Only one of three bolts is tightening down properly. I just found this out when I replaced the rubber boot under the shifter

Helicoil it.
