over in the 3g tl forums, theyve found some aluminum bushings for shift cable ends and they're supposed to make shifts more precise for $30. it looks like the part numbers for 3g tls and 1g cl 5mt match up on acuraautomotiveparts.org. here is the thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...9&page=1&pp=25

someone should try these out, id like to get them eventually. just thought id let you know, and someone may want to double check the part numbers to make sure that im correct

Tai
CorSPort"

thanks a lot man, i was going to order them friday but i guess ill wait for your review. good luck with it

Palayah8ta

Yea my problems is that a fractured my clutch foot, so ill have someone else install n review..

Palayah8ta

OK 6 months later, and i installed the shifter bushings from corport. Problem now is, i dont know if the company is still a AZine vendor.

BUt it took 15 mins to install and it made the gear box feel a LOT crisper.
aluminum > rubber

are theses just two bushings that replace the ones where the shifter cable attatches to the shifter or is their more involved to the install??

Palayah8ta

all i did was take the stock bushings off, replace them and put a new pin-wire thing and 2 E-clips back in. soo simple

mohaukachi

5-speed

thanks for the update .

Palayah8ta

Ok so this is a picture of the area under my intake.. u cant miss it..

THe corsport kit includes 2 bushings, u will need to grease the 'shaft part' and installation is easy.

I ordered mine two weeks ago, but they're on back order

CLpwner

could u post an updated thread or where u bought them... that old link doesnt work...

gotguinness?

so these will fit on a 99 2.3, correct? thanks!

AznX TL

yeah Palayah8ta has the f23 transmission

I Fear No Five O

So I'm assuming these bushings will fit a 2.2CL as well? Please correct if I'm wrong. Thanks!

Palayah8ta

yea its all the same

I Fear No Five O

Alright, awesome. Thanks!

Palayah8ta

did u get ahold of corsport?

I Fear No Five O

No, I actually found their website like 2 minutes after I PM'd you yesterday, lol. Someone else also found their website and posted it earlier today.

Palayah8ta

cool.. just remember to grease the inside of the bushing.. it says that on the instructions, but i forgot and paid for it.

I Fear No Five O

What happened to the bushing, did it get torn up or something?

5-speed

it probably made shifting really rough/made it bind

Palayah8ta

no grease is bad because, your replacing a ruber bushing with a metal one. sO its metal on metal contact. it shifts like shit withuot the grease.

gotguinness?

Just placed my order...Where do i get the grease? what type of grease am i looking for? Thanks.

The cable is located under the stock airbox?

Palayah8ta

u can get a little packet of grease from autozone, they sell them near the cashier/counter.

I Fear No Five O

I'm actually thinking of using these shifter bushings in conjunction with the P-Spec short shifter kit...what do you guys think? Will there be problems/disadvantages or will it be pointless using the shifter bushings with a short shifter? Has anyone done this yet? Any info or advice would be great. Thanks!

saiko_cl_duck

when is it NOT good to replace bushings? I would imagine it's only going to help.
