I was wondering if any 6-speed owners here did the shifter cable mod, supposed to be a great bang for the buck mod. Basically you just replace your OEM shifter bushings with aftermarket - the RSX ones fit. I'm doing this mod and removing my CDD this week so hopefully this will improve the daily driveability of my CL-S.

Here is a picture of the aftermarket ones I'm using:

And here is the thread in the TL forum on the shifter bushing mod:

Looks cool. Let us know how it turns out. I'll be throwing some on too if they work out well for ya.

 

Yeah same here. I ordered mine last week.

 

so this will make shifting more _____ not exactly sure what. i read the description and itsays it'll be more precise and tight.


anyways a DIY and review would be nice. probably will do this along with the short shift by ns

 

I can't imaging that the shifts will be all that much better. There's very little give from the stock bushings but it could help a little.

I thought there were still issues with the NS short shifter and the shifter hitting the boot with them installed? Have they updated the design?

 

That hasn't been a problem in a LONG time. That was the 1st batch after that they did change them. I've had it in 2 CL's & I know a few others that have been fine.

 

WTF? I've searched a good number of threads on them and all I found was talk that they would be changing the design but nothing about them going through with it. I woulda installed one a long time ago.

 

I'm certain I posted years ago that mine were the new ones & have been fine.

Anything after the new ones I'd say were install error. You do have to drill a hole. Not everyone can.

 

MJH, let us know how they work out after the install

 

Definitely, will do. I'm not sure why I haven't gotten them yet, hopefully tomorrow.

 

supposedly from what i heard is that this mod will make it more stiff and feel like u're actually shifting... the feeling of the shift at least. been told its a good mod.

 

Hey I noticed they have an app for an 04 TL. Would those work for the CL? It's the same 6mt tranny right?

 

We need someone to come along and make a rod shifter for our cars. Replace the cable shifter. Now THAT is something I'd be all over.
