Hi there guys. As some of you may or may not know, we came up with a shifter upgrade package a while back that included a number of shifter related items, including CORsport shifter bushings.

These solid aluminum bushings seemed like a godsend at first, firming up the shifter and making it feel solid as a rock.

But over time, the amount of effort needed to move though the gates was growing tiresome, even to the point when we kinda stopped talking about them.

Then, we found these bad boys by Hybrid Racing:



Look cool? They ARE cool. They took everything I hated about my shifter and got rid of it (I am using the rest of the HT-Spec kit in the HT-Spec TSX btw) and kept everything I loved. There is even less free movement in the shifter than with stock or with the aluminum ones.

Check out my story and an install gallery here! There are links to buy and also a note on a special deal for those of you who might have gotten CORsports from Heeltoe before and want to switch up.

Interesting. I have noticed my shifter needs slightly more effort to go through the gears.

I like that theyre spherical, but I wonder why only one of them is.

Because of the plane that they sit in. The engine rocks forward and backward. That means the smaller bushing, being mounted on a pivot parallel with the pivot of the engine does not bind with movement. The larger bushing pivots on a perpendicular plane to the rocking of the engine, so it can, and does, bind.

IIRC I got my Corsports awhile ago before they had them for the CL specifically. I think I got them for the RSX. Can you confirm fitment? The HR site only listed K series cars and H series.

Can you buy these individually outside of the shifter kit? I only want these bushings, but dont see a seperate listing

I've had them on my car for a year. Had them in my parts box for 3 years before using them. I haven't seen this increase effort. Unless I just don't notice it. It firmed it up, but I already had the short shifter bracket.

Yes they are, they are. I think you'd actually order the TSX ones. We need to make a CL specific item on the site for it.

Yes that "firming up" is exactly the thing. The bushings aren't supposed to make anything really firmer or cause the need for more force on the lever. Maybe you don't mind it (I didn't at first but def it wore on me over time) but these have a much easier and smoother action. Night and day.

Made the order for the TSX ones for my CL since those are the ones you said to order. How soon will they be shipping?

Confirmed the TSX=CL

We are waiting for our stock to come in, maybe 1 week max.
