Well worth the time and money. Love the way He shifts now! He just click's into gear. Same place every time. No play no stray.....

it does its the aluminum shifter bushing.......it shows it right there for the 04+ tl. its under the hood where the shifter cable connects to the links at the tranny. for arguements sake it acts like a bearing in the shifting process. the stock ones are all rubber. they suck! the metal ones are complimentary to the shortshifter i went 2 years without them like a dick and kept going to acura n having the bushings replaced because it felt like crap after a few hundred shifts.... at which point my mechanic at acura got pissed n said its time to find better metal ones.

okay well if this will fix my shifts i will be so happy. my shifter without the short shifter are terrible. the shifter has become very wobbly and feels different every time i shift. in some cases causes me to grind gears which i hate. how hard is the install?
