ok well im looking at a importshark short throw and needed to know what exactly im looking for with the little bushing everyone always says that you can find one at any hardware store but im not exactly sure what it is im looking at if anyone has one and can either post a pic or wants to sell me one or can post a link to where i can get one it would be very appreciated thanks

 

Heh, it's a trick as far as I've experienced. I spent a couple hours in Lowes trying to find the correct bushings. My current setup, which works perfectly, was also ridiculously obnoxious to get working. What I have is a plastic bushing inside the metal arm's hole, and then inside that is a brass bushing that has been bored out (to exactly the ID of one of my dremel grinding stones, conveniently) so that it -just- fits the ball on teh bottom of the shifter. Basicall it's as DIY as it's gonna get, and I'm sure you can find a better solution then that, even as well as it works for me after all the trouble.

 

lol im pretty sure i barely understood a word you said there lmao.gif

 

I know what you're taking about. Its the plastic joint that the shifter slides on. Always wondered where to get one. They wear over time but usually every 120k or so. Am I right?

 

i've been wanting to know the same thing, whats the bushing that i need? caus ei have a shirtshifter on right now but i need a better plastic thing that hangs on to the bottom of the shifter.

an di have no clue what caj said up there confused.gif

 

hm... i know what piece is being talked about i just dont know where to go buy one cuz the people at lowes are idiots and no one else knows what i need so i will go and try again soon

 

ugh... newbs...

Did you consider checking the ImportShark section of our forums? I believe what Caj said above is pretty well explain here:

Punctuation is your friend.

 

I saw a brass flanged bushing at Lowes that looked like it would work, can't remember the measurements though.

 

ok well i got my short shifter in and found a "bushing" at lowes i will get the part number and size and stuff when i got back out to my car but man is it way better so i will take a pic also and post that so you know what your looking for

 

I have to go to lowes tomorrow anyhow, and my shifter is apart, so do hurry on the number smile.gif
