Here's the DEAL!

The install of the bushings requires you to remove the stock air box and push the tubing out of the way, or in my case, remove the CAI tube that connects to the throttle body... Both of these are very easy to do, and only require the disconnect of the MAF sensor, plus the removal of a few bolts....

Once you get the Intake Clear, you should Be good to go!

I will not be held liabel for any damages this can cause to your engine if done improperly, or if following these directions, as I am only a tuner like yourself. Please perform at your own risk.

[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/02.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 3 - Locate Both Bushings[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/03.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 4 - Remove the Pin from the first bushing
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/04.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 5 - Remove the Washer from the first bushing
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/05.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 6 - Lift the cable and bushing off the rod and push the crappy rubber bushing out with your fingers (don't let it fall)
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/06.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 7 - That's all three parts, you want to keep the pin and washer for re-install
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/07.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 8 - Place the new bushing in the hole left there.
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/08.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 9 - Put the bushing and cable back on the rod (You may want to add a small bit of wheel bearing grease on the outside of the rod for smoother and lasting throws)
[mcol:8b1290b743]http://www.scionization.com/bushing/09.jpg[mrow:8b1290b743]Step 10 - Locate the second bushing and remove the pin and washer

ALL Done.... ENJOY!

o nice you made the DIY gj mad props to you!
honestly you dont need it but it makes people feel easier by having some confirmation

It helps people know exactly what is included in an install...

I agree that it's pretty straightforward, but some individuals really want to see the whole picture before jumping in :)

I also believe that NST will be including this online on their page and possibly shipped with them...for a good reference...

awesome. Guess I need to steal the wifes lunch money and buy a set.

NST FTW!!

Its a perfect write up. it would cost them 4 pieces of paper, so it would be easy and cheap to throw in the mail with them. Better safe than sorry. I honestly had no clue where the busings were located. Granted i am sure it would only take 5 minutes to find. This just made life alot easier.

Wow, thats one of the best writeups that i've ever seen - no matter how simple it may be. NST should give you some commission because i'm buying them b/c of this writeup. Hopefully that didn't take too long to do. Thanks for the writeup!

Quick Q - you just reconnect the MAF sensor when you are done and thats the end of that or is there some sort of reconfiguration necessary for the sensor?

No neccesary recalibration... disconnecting it doesn't remove any settings... Just make sure to connect it back up again well.

you helped a lot man..great write up..i salute you..

Thanks... I also did an install DIY of the Pulleys as well... Both of these are available in the tech section now as well.

Killer write up man! But do not forget to add a small smear of wheel bearing grease inside the bushing were it rides on the shift linkage. Will help shift smoother and also keep the investment lasting for years and years to come with flawless service!

^ Thanks.... Updated and Added.

-WDS

Nicely done! :D

Nice :bow:

Off Topic Split.

Keep it on topic to the NST Install...

You can do this install without taking off the CAI, but in the attempt to make it as clean and simple for others, removing the CAI and/or Stock Intake piping gives you much more room to work with ease...

Others have done the install without... but, I suggest you take advantage of the available room that comes with a quick removal of piping.

There is plenty of room, with CAI on. Good luck supercharged people with trying to put these on. Idk how your fitting those snap ring pliers down in there.

well how come they dont include directions.

Also a little quicker method, for popping out the OEM rubber pieces, is to take a screw driver and pry it out. It helps.

The NST Shifter Bushings are Stainless Steel and run 22 dollars...

For Ordering information, please see www.nonstoptuning.com

or also, you can contact the owner through AIM at "NSTonAIM"

how hard would it be w/ the s/c in there but the intake tube off?

Should be no problem whatsoever... just remove the intake tube, and you should be gtg... even if you had to remove a charge pipe, it's cakewalk.

Well I have the brass cable bushings. The bushing are a 10 minute job...most of which for me was removing the supercharger intake box and piping so I could get to the shift linkage.

ohh - thats what I thought because the intake box and tubing is in the same spot for the s/c and non s/c people. Im just asking because I went to go change my trans fluid using the shortcut writeup (which was nice by the way) but because I had the s/c .....it couldnt use the shortcut. Its all good. thanks.

back on topic - how are things after performing this mod? anybody have any input?

Yes... I'm curious as to how it preforms. Is there a notable difference. I suppose for 30 bucks all togeather its not to bad of an investment... either way it wont break the bank... but still curious.

Absolutely love it... should have come stock like it... I understand why they didn't, (for the normal plain jane guys), but no vibration whatsoever and you can actually feel the shifter lock in...

^^^ nice to know, i am ordering it now

just ordered mine.

Awesome... I don't think we'll see anyone dissapointed with this mod... for the price... it's a gimme.

Just ordered.

For all of you ordering them, let us know on this thread how the smooth the install went and how you like em please! Thanks in advance!

Install is cake, unless you drop the washer like I did :doh: I spent over an hour trying to find it and never did. Got to call dealership and order one. I don't think it'll be a problem since the snap ring holds the bushing in and I put the cotter pin in.

install went smooth. those pins are a beast though. shifting feels more firm and percise, not a huge difference but for $26 shipped you cant beat it. Def a good mod from a great company, keep it up NST!

I diddn't have to remove my intake.

You have the stock intake box in there? I took a look and it doesn't look all that feasible with it in...

I have a custom CAI. Pretty close to the stock shape, a bit bigger in diameter. I got to my shifter links pretty easy, though.

Cool to hear... I did it for ease sake, and also that it's a heck of a lot easier to get a camera in there as well without the intake in the way... :)

Bump for a great product and everyone tell what you think about them... I still love them... and for the cost... nice addition.

i am having trouble removing one of the rubber brushing.
I install the one on the side pretty easily. But the one lying down, i can't remove it. The rubber seem to be glue down. I torn one side of the rubber while pulling it. Any suggestion how to get it out?

it must have gotten hot or something... I pulled the cable off with the bushing still in and just pushed really hard and they both popped out of the holder... it's not glued down from the factory, so you should be able to just pull the heck out of it to get it off.

Take a flathead screwdriver and put it through and pop it out. pretty easy that way.

the cable came off. But the rubber bushing is still on the rod. I am going to try again tomorrow.
Would warming up my car make it easier to get it off?

dont hesitate to use some force, you arent keeping the busching. use some of your ball bearing grease to help it off. thats what i did.

i am afraid to rip the rubber off and still can't the metal part out.

Any update? Should be not a problem...

If you replace just the alt and the WP would you have to get a new belt and/or would the new belt work with the same size crank pulley?

LoL... wrong thread... this is for the shifter bushings... the NST underdrive pulley set is another.... Sorry...

-WDS

Took awhile for my to find a free weekend to install these but I just got done with my test drive after the install and these things are great. Good bang for buck mod.

How was the install? I'm doing it next weekend...

How much does the Snap Ring Pliers cost? I'd hate to spent a bunch on a tool I'd only need to use once.

It's very inexpensive. Buy it online for a few bucks if you want, or go to the local store. I got mine for like $10 i think.

Install was a breeze by the way and the pliers made life real easy

Cheap, easy mod. Very positive shifts now with little change in shifting effort. I would've had less trouble (and gotten done faster) if I'd taken the section of CAI over the cables off. The pins are definitely the beast of the install. The old bushings just take some pushing to pop out.

Great write up!

Yea, those pins are very simply the devil :flame: :evil:

lol, takes some time and a sore thumb! :rofl:

Just oredered mine... how long does shipping normally take?

I am very interested in getting these on my car... I love cheap mods since I am a student with very little money to blow on the car. It normally takes me a few months to save up for car parts, but this is so cheap how could I possibly pass it up.

Sorry I took so long..anyway here are my custom shifter cable bushings made from 100% Delrin. :

And all i did was stick my arm down there and un attatch the clip and took out the stock bushing added mine then re clipped. Took less than five minutes. Taking off your intake is a waste of time, unless you have short stubby arms, or you're completely blind. Or if you just want to becareful for that matter. I would say try it without taking anything off then if oyu can't, then result to taking the stock intake off.

you guys paid for bushings?

...:lol:

I did not mean that in an arrogant way. I know how much they charge for those pieces of plastic.

^^^Yea anyways.... I got mine in today and put them on in about ten minutes with no tools what so ever. The shifts are real smooth I was amazed at the difference.

you guys paid for bushings?

...:lol:

Yeah, you guys actually went out and spent a few bucks to buy a quality product from a company who actually spent some money to do research and development to bring a product to the market?

You should have all just ghetto fabricated your own junk in your backyards. How dare you? We should all stop supporting the brand names and build our own junk pieces so that in the future the big companies do not waste their time and effort to bring new products to the market for us.

:yawn:

Exactly my point. Thank you hPower.

hey the install was the easiest thing ever, but i didnt read the how too i jus figured it out my self, but i saw that you need to put the oem washer back on is there a problem if you didnt? cause i didnt put them on jus the O ring and thingy in between

I have mine sitting on my table waiting for a day to install them. How does it feel after?

feels great dude, and you dont need a day jus like 15 minutes lol its fast install took me like 15 mins

^ i meant a day that im not working or too tired to bother w/ the install. I looked at the install and its very strait foward. Did you use the clamp remover or a screw driver?

i used my finger nails lol i have no tools at all cept for the snap ring plier which i had to buy lol

i used my finger nails lol i have no tools at all cept for the snap ring plier which i had to buy lol

ya - thats what i was talking about - the snap ring pliers

Does anyone have any recent reviews? :)

I have had my bushings in for a while now and I couldn't imagine not having them. Once you get them installed, right away your shifts feel more precise. The gears lock into place instead of shifts feeling mushy. I forget how much it improves the feel of shifting until I get in a different tC and feel how loose the shifting is. You guys can say it is easy to make your own, but once you see and feel the quality of the NST products, $22 is a bargain for the performance and quality you receive.

where exactly is the 2nd bushing? i only see one in all the pictures.

The second bushing is vertical so you can't really see it. Once you do the first one and get a feel for how it works, it won't matter that you can't really see it. Really easy install.

Haha, wow, I don't even remember tha first time I said that, but THANKS! :)

How do these bushings improve the shifting exactly?? I'm reading that it's more accurate.. meaning like it pops into gear easier?? I'm looking for something to make shifting easier on the tC because when I drive my friend's BMW and Honda/Acura, it's so much loose and easier(i can shift with 1 finger O_O ). Will the cable bushing help with this??

just installed the nst cable bushings today. doesn't make the biggest difference but the shifts do feel a little more precise than before and that could be that i've had my car for almost 4 years of course. good product for a cheap price.

EXCELLENT THREAD!!!

Thank you for the recent bushing orders guys and gals, we certainly do appreciate it!

Anyone still have the pictures that go with the instructions?

I have considered the cable bushing replacement for a couple of weeks now...I installed my short shifter with base bushings and noticed an improvement in positive shifts and more firm shifting. The shifter is still loose yet I believe that is coming from some internal parts of the cage itself. I just wonder if the cable bushings will help with some of the give in the shifter. I want solid shifts! Maybe the cage needs replaced, IDK.

The bushing will make a major difference

Yes, the NST bushings definitely make a noticeable difference!

I installed these, and I recommend NST cable bushings.

i had this on my yaris and it worked like a charm, NST!

will these fix my 5th gear pop out? I just ordered them so hopefully it will. Toyota told me the most likely reason for the pop out is worn out shift cable bushings but they were trying to charge me $770 for the fix!!

Whoa!!! $770 is a costly repair if it is indeed your bushings.

Unfortunately, 5th gear pop out is also a sign of a transmission that is on its way out. You may want to have a mechanic take a look at your car to give you a second opinion.

Either way, good luck with all your projects!
