I would like to agree, and add that i havnt had a missed shift or WRONG GEAR since i installed my set.

I actually just said that the other day in a PM. Next in line is the suspension.

any update on he bushings? i ordered them more than a week ago??

I'd like to order a set too, but it looks like people are having trouble communicating with the seller.

If you've ordered a set, and haven't recieved them yet, please let me know your name/order date. Everyone should have them, through the last month's orders.

I haven't received them yet. My name is Manuel Boria and the order date was 5/21/10 1:13 PM PDT

Yours went out 2 weeks ago with the last shipment.. You should have them by now. But, I'll send another set this week. Please let me know if you get the first set in, in the meantime.

Thanks,

Travis

Really I haven't gotten it yet. If i do get the first set i'll send one of the sets back to you. Thank you.

I ordered two and havent gotten either. Name is Ryan Tornai. Ordered one around 5/3/10 and another near end of month I believe

Been two months and I still haven't receive either of mine. Want a refund

Okay I got one of them today, in your install instructions you say they are taller than each other, but mine are the same height, just one is wider.

Nvm I put em on anyway, seems to be a bit more play on the transmission bushings, big gap between the bushing and cotter pin, but it seems to be working fine. But wow its waaay more smooth. Feels amazing, but requires considerably more force to shift.

I ordered these 3 months ago and still have not received them, beware. I did get them from another guy on the forum and they help, but just to let you know you need engine bushings to prevent binding, also full synthetic tranny oil helps too. Poly bushings will solve all that but adds vibration, but well worth it i.m.o.

What's the deal with this? I'm kind of interested, but what a shaky seller.

If you ordered a set, and never recieved them, perhaps you could have let me know something. Our neighborhood was hit by vandals (kids) who were taking outgoing mail from our mailboxes, and I had about 15 sets of bushings recovered by our local PD when they were caught. However, all sets have been accounted for, and were reshipped earlier in the week. If you give me your name, I'll gladly look up your shipment to see if you were included in this batch. However, as of Monday of this week, all bushings have been shipped/accounted for.

I have sold over 500 sets of these bushings over the past 2 years.. We recently had a problem with theft of outgoing small packages/mail in our mailbox, but, it was resolved as of this week.

If you followed the directions, and pressed them into the shifter cable loop by hand, then, you have nothing to worry about. There is a slight gap between the factory washer and the cotter pin, but, it's not going to affect anything. If it bothers you, a few 5 cent washers from Lowes can be placed between the factory washer and the cotter pin.

The shift action should feel much more crisp, with a slightly noticeable increase in shift effort. This is as close as you will get to a direct shift (shift rod) transmission.
