Great product, big difference
Pretty easy install, well made product, and a noticeable improvement in shifter feel. I also installed the solid cable end bushings.
Some products offered by SXTH Element and SXTHNK are not capable of shipping to states that have adopted the C.A.R.B. Standard. Those products can include anything induction or exhaust related. More information can be found in the link below.
C.A.R.B. and E.P.A. InformationThe 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.

Relatively simple and worthwhile upgrade. If you're not scared of taking the interior and engine bay apart the. It is no issue, should probably take two hours at most to install both sets.

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.
