Shifter bushing - anyone use this?
Mods, I know this is an ebay link but I'm not at all affiliated with the seller; just curious about the product.
eBay Motors: CUSCO S13 S14 Collar - Shifter Lever NISMO NISSAN (item 120358497943 end time Feb-02-09 14:06:46 PST) Metal (looks like copper) shifter bushing. I'm wondering if it would fit a B&M shifter, how it feels, and whether it would increase wear on anything. Also wondering if it's removable once it's installed, if you wanted to move it to another shift lever. TIA.

Works fine. Tanabe makes an aluminum one, same effect. You're basically reducing the play and possible wear of the plastic bushing. Fits all shifters but since it's metal it doesn't 'snap' on, it just sits in the lever and the shifter fits into it.

What most people don't realize is the slop isn't always caused by that bushing. It is the springs in the transmission that wear out the most. Move your shifter while in neutral to the left, and then to the right. Going to the right is tight.. Left is loose.. the springs need replacement. Buy a $2 bushing from nissan that will sit tight just like your stock one still does, and purchase the HKS shifter spring kit. Or replace shift springs with OEM springs for dirt.

You can also double up on the OEM springs to make it stiffer, or perhaps pull one spring out, take it to a hobby shop that sells RC car parts, and find an RC car spring of similar size that is stiffer.
Easy shit. |

There's only one bushing. Either you replace with the OE plastic or use an aftermarket metal one.

The stock one is a flimsy paper-thin circle of metal. The one I have is 2mm thick. Although if you have a B&M shifter, it eliminates this part |

That's NOT a bushing, that's a spring washer to hold tension on the upper pivot bushing. Oftentimes that can also cause slop in the shifter if it is worn/missing.
