Same response I got, and I'm going with that until I attempt the install. I mostly asked as I've seen other companies say "Parts can not be returned if install was performed" but Obnoxious Performance doesn't run that way for this part... due to the part # showing up that way.

I'll post up on here after I do the install, I'm hoping to have it done early Saturday morning, but that depends on how nice Jack is to me on Friday night.

Bushings looked like they worked fine, no issues with fittment at all. Only one thing though...

U BRACKET CAN ROT IN HELL

ok there, that's better.

I just haven't read much as far as reviews go with that SS on the tC2.
Throw redux is about the same with the TRD and the TWM options. 1stOne is the only person I know of who has actually used both and he said TWM's full shifter replacement feels better than the TRD but that the TRD is a lot cheaper and easier to install.

Is the U bracket a pain to slide in? I'm doing mine tomorrow morning. What tool did you use?

Both sliding in and out. You will want a thick/long bladed flathead screwdriver to try to pry it loose, pliers may help as well. Sad thing is, if you get mad at it, you have to remember you need to re-use it, so try not to bend it out of shape.

Getting it back in is not as bad, but I used a small hammer I have, it has a hard rubber end and an end like the material screwdriver handles are made of. A Brass hammer would work great as well, keeps you from smacking the U Bracket to much and bending it out of shape.

Keep in mind, this was ONLY for the TRD Short Shifter. If you are only replacing the cable bushings, you won't have to do any of the hard work. Bushings alone take 5-10 min.

Installed the cable bushings on Sunday. Eveything fits, so yea it uses the same bushings on Mitsubishi Eclips 1G/2G. Very easy to install.

Do we have some feedback from tC2 owners who have been using NST bushings? If so, please share with your fellow board members.

Thanks again everyone, good luck and have fun with all your projects!
