did anyone that has installed these notice more of the vibrating noise by the shifter? i just installed mine and did notice they did have a little more play than the stock rubber bushings but other than that the shifting did feel a little smoother. its just that now it is more audible and not just in 5th gear on the freeway
I remember seeing a thread there was an Extra spacer needed ?
Just installed mine today aswell. I put grease around the bushings. I don't think I've heard any new rattles even with ams solid front motor mount.
Did you buy it from the posting?Originally Posted by reggieting

did you happen to reuse the washer from the stock horizontal bushing?
been looking but nothing so far... im just going to put the washer on and see if it eliminates the vibrating noise from the shifter boot
Yes I reused the washer on the horizontal bushing.
thanks ill be redoing them tomorrow. everythying else is pretty good. did notice slightly better shifting but just the noise was really bugging me.... and that gives me a chance to put in the ams 5 speed gate selector lol it was getting pretty late and i had poor lighting
Let me know how the gate selector bushing works out for you.
No problem. And I forgot to ask did your bushings fit snug tight or ws there any play?
The horizontal bushing was snug with the oem washer included. The vertical had 1mm play. I might end up adding a washer but there have been no side effects with out it.
thanks for the info. i put th washer in and the noise did go down abit. i guess im going to have to adjust the vertical bushing while i install the 5speed gate selector. ill keep you updated on that. hope that also takes some noise away by making it stiffer.
ok i finaly got a chance to put on the ams 5 speed gate selector bushing and to me this made the most difference in shifting. it feels better than the first day i got my evo lol
Nice. I honestly didn't feel much of difference with the shifter bushings. I think the solid front motor mount helped the most with shift quality. But the shift gate bushing will be next. Thanks for the info.
no problem, its a quick 10-15 minute instal that helped out big time
great mod, should of done it wayyy before everything else
How do these bushings help the shifting???

i forgot exactly what they do but from what i remember it makes your shifts feel more precise and have a more quality feel to it.
