Bushings
Who else makes them? I've seen the ones from TWM for the 2011, and I know Doc I makes some for the earlier tC models, but are there minimal options right now for the 2011 tC?
Trying to find a set to go with my TRD SS, no sense to do the work twice, but things seem out of stock or not getting responses from emails from any company.
Just wondering what other companies have made these for any cars, figure I might as well start emailing around to see who else may make some bushings for us.

Shift cable bushings seem to be the one thing that carried over from the 1st gen tC. When I went and talked to NST, they said when they went to develop them for the tC2, they found out they were the same size.
So any company that makes them for the tC1 should be able to help you.

Hey HEY, hold up there killer! lol
Thanks for the offer Lamont, but I'm tapped out for the month on my car purchases. If I'm able to sell my guitar pedal I might hit you back on any parts you've got left over, but don't hold them for me.
Back on topic though, how much did you enjoy your TRD SS? I've read up on them and strongly hope it (along with the cable bushings) get rid of the sloppy-feeling the stock setup has.

I left the trd ss, and the trd high flow filter on the car. I still have the stock paper filter laying around. Not sure what I want to do with that.

The trd ss, I don't have. One of the mods moved my thread about me selling my engine cover to the for sale section instead of leaving in this forum. Bump.. but I have it laying it around and I will post pics later. I am @ work from 3p.m. to 11p.m and not @ home.

Not dumb, the TRD does not replace any bushings at all, it only relocates the cables in the engine bay. You can go replace the bushings as well, I only went with the cable bushings, but you can also get ones to replace the bushings on the shifter.
There are different materials on the bushings from different makers, I went with Delrin ones from Torque Solutions, but you can find others.

Not sure about the Eclipse bushings, but I did have a question about the TRD SS you're ordering. Is that the same red piece that Scion offers when you order the car new? I've been thinking about getting it as well since it offers a similar throw reduction (Scion.com advertises 25-30%) as the "other" brands (30%) and almost half the cost if you get it on a new car. I just haven't read much as far as reviews go with that SS on the tC2.
