hmm i wish i woulda done that it probably would have been easier to go in aswell. i might take them out and grease them, but besides that the stiff/tight feeling in the shifter is normal?

yeah I didnt grease mine at all and have had no problems...

im sure the vibrating thing isnt anything unusual, you probably only noticed it because you were looking for it.

rosedaleny806

yeah spoke to DR I about it, 5th gear always vibrates ingeneral but after puttin solid bushings more of the vibration from the tranny travles to the stick unlike the sloppy rubber bushing that held back a lot of vibration cause it was flexible compared to this. But this mod is definatly a bang for ur buck 27 bucks and its so much better it loosens up after a few days I love it

i think delrin material is self lubricant. if you lubricate it with other lubes the material it may dry out.

delrin material is not self lubricant, my Doc I 's shift **** is made from Delrin .

what do you mean push the stock rubber things out...i got the pin out.i got the end link off.......how does the rubber piece come off any special way....do i grab it and pull it up or do i push something in and pops off..sorry didnt understand that

rosedaleny806

the rubber piece is the stock bushing, u need to jus push it out of the whole in the endlink. that's all, its hard to do but jus push and that's it.

gp1817

well i got them both out little difficult but got it....the end link that lays flat went in fine no problems...but the sidewards one the Doctor ISO bushing wouldnt fit tryed everything i was expecting it to go right on but i had to make the hole a tad bigger cause i dodnt want to force it on or ill never come off i something happens... so it would fit snug..but overall went fine.....made the shifter alittle tighter and get into gears for firmly....

rosedaleny806

yup mine was the same way for the sideways one it was a PITA to get it in but i didnt make the hole bigger jus kept pushing it in with a tiny hammer lol. but its tighter MUCH tighter and firm shifting

gp1817

im sure theres a reason why it like that..im sure they wouldnt make it so it doesnt go on.....but i didnt want to break anything with the hammer or pliers.....i made the hole little bigger just enough to get it on there i did use a little force....but i know a few people who done that also.....i did feel a difference in the shifter came tighter so i know i didnt make the hole any bigger then it was suppose to be i can always pick up more...the DIY here didnt say it would be a tight fit say said it would be like the first one so i assumed easy....

rosedaleny806

u did it right, so no worries. I thought I f'd sumthing cause it was tight to put in and the shifter itself was tight too. after a few days it becomes "looser" I like it. one thing I don't like is on the hwy in 5th gear u feel the shifter vibrate a lot more when u let go of the gas and step on the gas. but besides that I have no complaints

gp1817

LOL..yea not to worried i was just happy to get it on there....im saying why the hell is this so tight....then i remeber reading on here from a few people that they had to modify it alittle bit so it would at least go on..so i did that a boom went on put the other on made sure everything was in place and most important made sure i can get into all the gears..felt nice..took it for a spin for testing and everything was good....sometimes i feel like when people post DIY threads here they sometimes leave out things which people like me have to find out the hard way or read what others say that hows i knew... all is good...


i havent been on the HWY yet so il see what happen..

I just installed these on my car, and I can only get my car in 1st and 2nd gear. Ughhh. Checked everything, took them out, did them like 5 times. wtf

wtf? that makes no sense. put the stock bushings back in and see if you have the same problem. If so and you are sure that there are no problems with the endlinks in the engine bay, check the cable connections to the shifter itself.
