    Do the bushing, the rasied part, is that width suppose to match the hole diameter on the gold plate? Mine were smaller. Just curious, I know the bolt holds it all in place. It just seems that things would be more snug if that raised bit was the same diameter.

    yeah the hole is diff than the the size of the washer... I wonderd that too... I also thought about the why it's not the same size to make it snug... oh well. :D

    I doubt you'll need locktight. That area doesn't get enough vibration to make it loose. I was hard to remove the bolts? It wasn't that hard for me. With the right tools, its easy.

    Ahhhhh was a big fukn headache this install was. Busted up my knuckles, lost a metal insert and can't find it. A big help was removing the cigarette lighter cover to find a dropped bushing. Just squeeze and yank. I haven't drove the car yet to find out if I think it was worth it. It was a good thing I found this post because if not I would have put them on the way it says on K-Series. I used a screwdriver to hold the bushing in place while I got the bolt through. It's not a hard job its just working in tight places is a bitch.

    yupp no nuts under... its just bolts then... you might want to be prepared to catch the rubber (stock) bushings that might fall into the shifter console

    first two bolts are ok... but after two is a pain...

    its easier to go from bottom two to top two ... just my two cents.

    I did this today. One thing I found it's easier to pull the rubber bushings out with some needle nose pliers. I took a chunk out of one but I'm never putting the stock ones back it so it don't matter.

    Another thing I found when removing the metal sleeves is it's easier not to lose them if you thread a string through, grab both ends of the string and push the bushing through with a screwdriver or something. This keeps the bushing on the string and keeps it from falling.

    I found this mod to be worth $20 but not worth anything more.
    Of course if I had to choose between rubber and metal bushing I choose metal

    Do you still need the metal bushings when using a buddy club short shifter? If not which would you recommend the bushings or the SS? or both?

    Are these bushings still available?

    Just wondered if anyone has ordered these lately?

    The website shows out of stock, and it looks like the last update was in '06 sometime?!

    Any info you guys have would be appreciated.
