Whats the best brand of aluminum (or other metal) shift linkage bushings for an 07 TL type S and best place to buy them from? Dont really know too much about Honda aftermarket performance parts. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes I did but I wanted to hear from people with first hand experience which bushings are the best theyve used, maybe one brand is better then the other, best place to buy for best price, etc.

I don't recall a heck of lot of discussion on this topic much. Didn't know there was much perk to it on this car. My shifter is pretty spot on and solid compared to previous cars.

Agreed, shy of a Gen 1 Series 3 Mazda RX-7, the shifter in my TL is the best shifter I've ever used. If it ain't broke, why mess with it?

Because my shift linkage bushings are shot and need to be changed. I could go OEM but I would prefer some metal ones so I dont have to worry about them wearing out again.

Interesting; how many miles on your car and how many more do you intend on keeping it? I ask because my car has 160,000 miles on the factory bushings, and there is zero indications they are anywhere near done yet. For the sake of argument, let's just say the bushings will need replacing every 200,000 miles (debatable), will you really be keeping your car to the 400,000 mile mark?

twinturbotim, It appears, from the link below, even IF you wanted OEM shift bushings, you'd have to purchase the whole (#8) wire change assembly 54310-SEP-L01 ($120.20). They are inclusive only to that part and not sold separately.

Furthermore, heeltoeauto advertises a Hybrid racing shift cable bushing set for $69.99 as well as; Acuity; K-Tuned and a HTSpec Short Shifter package for $198 that contains a CT-E Short shifter, Hybrid Racing Shifter Bushings, and a weighted Maven Shift Knob. You can option in a stainless braided clutch hose & brake fluid for $233.

If you use the 'advanced search' option on this forum, insert keyword search term 'shift link bushing' and highlight the 'Third Generation TL (2004-2008)' you will find discussion threads on the said keyword to sift through.
