For all the 6spd TL/TL-S owners, I wanted to see how much interest there would be for a complete bushing kit for the TL rather then just the cables. I have access to a machinist and can probably get some shifter box/cable bushings made along with a clamp for the cables. Would anybody be interested in this?!

 

i didnt know there was a replacement for the cables.

may be interested with further explanation

 

Are the cor sport (RSX) bushings not compatible with the TL-S...? I've had them in for over 2 years in my 06 6MT.

 

+1? I have these for about 2 months and I can notice a little difference

 

this.

 

I was refering to these



The RSX ones fit on the TL shifter base?

 

yup. those fit the tl. i just used a ball bearing for mine

 

Huh, when I took the oem bushings out the opening in the base seemed to small in diameter. Oh well nevermind then haha.

 

if you want an even more solid shifter feel check this out.

how do you install the corsport? I have them sitting at home!

 

This thread seems to make no sense.

First you say there are cables to upgrade the 6MT and ask about bushings.

Then you show us Corsport bushings that some of us already have installed.

What's the point of this?

 

When I wrote that I in my head was implying just the cable bushings, not the cables themselves. I showed the CorSport Acura RSX shifter base bushings, which CorSport themselves told me wouldn't work on the 6spd TL, because I thought maybe the guy was thinking of the cable bushings not the shifter base bushings. CorSport doesn't sell the shifter base bushings for the TL thus I used washers to make my own. Had I known that they would fit I would of bought them but since I didn't I homemade my own and made a thread inquiring if there would be interest in them because I could have my friend make a mock set and eventually produce them for resale. I figured since this thread is about shifter bushings, it was implied. Sorry for the confusion.

 

If you have an OEM then you need to remove it. If you have a CAI it can be done with it in place.

First you need to pull the codder pins out holding the cables down. Then you need to somehow push the old bushings out. I stuck a pick in the side and pried it out. Once done put the bushings into the ring at the end of the cable with the lip on the underside. Slip them back onto the shift linkage and you might have to use some pliers to push them in, but slide the C clips into the notched slot on the bushing. Replace codder pin and you're done. Do it on both.

Use this to help, its the same basic idea.

Ah ok. You're talking about the base end of the cables. I'd be interested if the price was reasonable.

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

I would, but from what the members are saying above the RSX ones fit so you can just use those, thats why I was confused because CorSport said it wont work on the TL and they don't sell any for the TL so I never bothered to ask if they would fit or if anyone had them on here. I definately recommend getting them they really clean up the gear engagement feel.

 

No bro, I was talking about the shifter base bushings, not the cable bushings...

 

When I get a chance, I'll take a look at the base bushings. I have my console apart.

I thought the bushings only fit on the tranny side of the cables (which are also the same size as the RSX bushings). If they are the same size, then it's a no brainer.

 

Definately, I'm too lazy to take my console out again haha so my aluminum washers will have to do for now.

 

Count me in, then. This made a WORLD of difference on my 2001 Maxima.

 

Apparently the RSX shifter base bushings work on the TL so just pick some up from Strut King or CorSport. I also recommend zipting the shift cables. Check out my other thread it definately made a great difference.

 

Once you get them, let us know if they fit.

I also see that there are racing shifter cables for an RSX. They are over $300 though. Wonder if they would fit?

 

n3o,

Can you write up a DIY for the shifter base bushings and also how you zip-tied the shifter cable?

 

So, these are the bushings that the shifter base (yellow plastic piece in the center console) is connected to the floor with? or do I have this compleatly wrong and I hav no idea what you are talking about hahaha diagram would help because I wanna order these so I can do my short shifter and this at the same time.

 

Yes Myron you are right. Here are some photos from an install on an RSX. Its the exact same concept on the TL.

Shifter base with stock bushings and metal sleeves



With aluminum bushings


Basically you sandwich the shifter base between 2 of these bushings and bolt it down.

 

Ohhhh....ok; my bad.

 

I was all messed up too....

 

ok I see now. So this little mod actually makes the shifter more smooth and precise? How much is this and can the RSX ones be used? wish I had known about this before I got my shifter cable bushings, would have saved me 20-30$ on shipping. Shipping to canada sucks ass

 

Also, another question:

I already ordered the RSX shifter base bushings. So before I go and take the center console apart, how many bushings are there to replace on the TL?

 

The same exact amount as the RSX. The shifter box is the same design. You put 4 on the underside and 4 on the top side.


Go get into your car. Clutch in and start shifting. When you put it into a gear push hard, you will feel that the shift lever has some flex to it, thats the rubber bushings on the base. When you replace those it will go feel like its a wall when you select a gear.

 

If anyone is going to do this mod, please take some pics of the process!!!!

 

lol, pics at the top...whoooo it's been a long day

 

n3o, your link is dead
