Hello, I am looking to replace my stock shifter bushings...the ones that go into the base of the shifter (and also the end of the shifter arm...right next to the kartboy ones) with some aftermarket bushings if they exist. I already have the kartboy bushings, but that is for a different place. the mazda part number the ones I want is 46-062a and i will just get new ones from them if there is no such thing as a preformance one...but I thought I'd check before I paid $4.30 a piece for OEM ones since I need 4.

If you have the left to right play in your shifter...replacing these bushings will fix that...at least I'm hoping it will...

you most likely will need to replace all 4 though, or if not just the ones up next to the kartboy bushing location.

here is a picture for better description...where it is pointing and says "is this it"...well yes it is!

 

wow....i highly doubt you'll find anyone selling that. good luck though and let us know how it turns out for you.

 

I actually found some from www.corksport.com



They are like $34

I'm gonna get them and let y'all know how they preform! I love my kartboy so far and will be installing the kartboy bushings, and these corksport bushings to totally upgrade my transmission!

 

well I ordered them today so I'll let you all know how they turn out...

cool man, lets see what these babies do

 

ya, i dunno if the shifter linkage and everything is the same for the protege, but i know that for the probe/mx6 they have a TON of polyurethane bushings, right now i've got the RR-racing poly engine mounts, and shifter bushings, and i LOVE them, going back to stock rubber bushings will only fix the problem for so long, and they seem to wear out rather quickly... like i said, if the shifter linkage and bushings and all that are close to, or the same as an mx6, then you should be able to find stuff like this no problem

 

reading through old post - i have that "left/right play" , anyone else try this? ^^^

 

I gotta admit, I kinda like the l-r play in the shifter. I am a wiggler....nervous habit, I guess.

 

Guess its safer to play with your than other people

 

those are called the "bronzoil bushings". I've heard good things about them but my shifter is perfect for me with the MSP shifter and KB bushings. I'm not messing with it anymore.
