Shifter Bushings

[phyaz91]

ok guys....yesterday i decided to go to lowes to browse and came up with an idea... i found some bronze flange bushings the size is 3/8 x 1/2 x 5/8 x 1" they didnt have half inch but just eyeballing them they looked like they would fit with a little cutting , sure enough with a little help from a friend of mine (skimsucka),
a cutoff wheel and a drill.. (not sure what size we had to drill it to) they fy shifter feels like a fresh racing tranny . will get some pics to show. if you try be aware to drill and cut carefully bronze is soft and will crack happy motoring

I machined mine out of some Delrin I had around.

Machine about 10 more sets and sell them.

It's not like they were cheap it'd prob cost about the same for a full sutcomsidering I did crack 2 of them before they came out right

I've got lots of delrin......

Ok, I'll see what I can do.

delrin is some dangerous stuff when it comes to injection molding.. but you probably just have chunks of it right?

Pics and finished dimensions would be great, my shifter is like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

Greg, would I be wrong to assume that these could be made to work for Civic short shifters as well?

[phyaz91]

Some o the sts already have a bushing assy attached kinda looks like a skateboard wheel bearing but I'm sure if no irfan be easily adapted . I made a custom sts by extending the underbody side of the shifter with a bolt welded my throws are rediculosly short I will post a video soon

Btw the bronze bushings seemed to extrude oil just as the other ones claim to do

i paid 3.33 per bushing and i replaced all 6 theres 4 on one end of the linkage and 2 on the shifter end you have to cut the straight pin on the tranny side and get a shafted bolt and locking nut to replace it if not your raplace all the others for barely any results cuz the one still gives play

That's not that much money, but are they direct fit to the Festiva?
