The shifter in the manual transmission is bolted to the chassis with rubber bushings. These rubber bushings will deflect when under pressure. While they are pretty stiff already, we can replace them with something better, and more rigid.
Our bushings are turned from 6061-T6 aluminum stock, and designed to be an OEM fit. These will not deflect when shifting aggressively, resulting in a more refined shifting feel.

I can't think of anything else you can get for $30 that changes the feel of a car so much. I put these in my R-Spec and it makes it so much smoother and more solid. Also, I don't have to fight it to get it in reverse anymore!
Pain in the butt to do in the R Spec but a definite improvement in shifter response. Super solid when shifting hard. Definitely recommend!

Installed these bushings on my Forte5 SX. Unfortunately the instructions don't cover this model and customer service was no help. The existing bushings are blocked by an A/C duct. It turns out you have to completely remove the center console via some screws on the side and two screws inside the storage cubby. Then you can access a nut under the rear of the duct that allows you to remove it completely. After that just follow the instructions. Not difficult, just takes a little time. The bushings definitely improved the shift feel and are a good value.
I'm amazed at how much of a difference these make! Fully recommend to anyone that wants a better, more solid feeling shift!
Everyone who gets a new manual car should get these. Makes a huge difference when shifting. Alot more solid and not squishy.
didn't exactly believe that shifter bushings would make a HUGE diff but they do. time to buy the cable end bushings to complete the shifting experience. Tanner always on the ball promoting sales but the items speak for themselves, all he does is advertise them and everything jumps in on them. Mark develops such fantastic products with fantastic quality materials can't complain.
I wasn't expecting much with this minor of a change. It really does stiffen up your shifting. I was expecting more vibration due to the removal of the stock bushings. No increase in vibration during idle. Highly recommend this.
The sxth bushing set for the manual transmission are the single best thing you can do to improve shifter feel. The short throw shifters arent even this big of an improvement and the install is super easy in comparison.
These bushings at first don’t feel like they make much of a change, but if you thrash your daily every once in a while (or even just push it above 4500rpm), you DEFINITELY feel the difference. Pair these with a weighted shift knob and your shifts will feel phenomenal. I look forward to driving my F5 SX every single time I get to drive it!!
This product fit perfectly as a company could make it and improved the feeling of the shifter a 100%.
