Anyone have an old shifter bushing they can get the dimesions off of NOT the stabilizer bar but the small shifter ones.. I was looking through the bushings at a supplier loacly and found a TON of odd sizes of the bronze ones used in the old door hinges thought if i can get the same size in bronze itll firm it up even more but cant find the old ones i had when i got home so hopin someone here has one they can messure .. I know corksport sells the bronzeoil or somethin but 30-40 shipped vs 4 bucks...hum...... easy to see my best option..

You will get vibration and possible buzzes for very little gain. Kinda overkill.
The stiff energy suspension ones work well.
But good luck - I hope it works out for you.

i was thinking the energy suspension only had the one and that was for the stabilizer bar not the small shifter bushings?

i replaced the one on the bottom of the shifter... i used a random sleeve i found in my garage..its a ferrous metal so we will see how it does compared to the rubber but its kinda sloppy but its like a hard sloppy def. better than stock

i was thinkin about trying to find a heim joint and modifying that to work

There are ES bushings for the shifter - very nice. Grease everything up on assembly, and you'll be good for a few years.

Ive had those those wern't energy suspensions those were the stock plastic ones.. they wear out ,,,thats why i was wondering the dimensions ... i was gonna see about locating some bronze bushings that were same dimensions thus firming up the shiter even more .. ive got the e/s stabilizer bar..
