Best Shifter Cable Bushing

Hi i was wondering whats the best shifter cable bushing to use with the ct short shifter and a skunk2 knob? I read that the hybrid racing bushing is really good but any of you guys use something different?

Hybrid Racing spherical. No doubt about it.

Any reason why the HR bushings are better than the Corsport? I have the Corsport, but they are not installed lol.

Because that motion on the shifter lever isn't exactly "perfect" it moves a little bit. The Corsports are basically solid. While the Hybrid Racing has a spherical bearing on the inside. So it's a tad smoother. It's also twice the price.

Corsport


Hybrid Racing

Being honest, looking back, I'm not sure I would do the short shifter over again. While it works as advertised, and the throws are short, it did create a bit of "rigidity" in shifts. It's more defined and blocky. Stock was like butter.

In short, since it's my dd, I would rather have very smooth throws instead of very short throws.

The bushings and maven knob I can't go without.

Trust me, you don't remember how sloppy it is to drive without the SS. I just did and it isn't a pleasure.
