Improve your gear shift (parts fitted today)

[End User]

noone, have you purchsed these yet? Maybe we can get together and assist each other with the installation?
I definately need more practice with tinkering under the hood.
Open invite to anyone else in Sydney who is interested in this mod!

Sure thing mate, always up for a challenge.

If you can order 2 sets, let me know when they arrive and we can take it from there...

Just wondering how long it took to receive the goods after ordering??

Thanks!

Just installed these bushings and gearshift feel is much more precise and crisp just like insanekiwi described.

Each shift requires a tad more effort but each gear mechanically 'clicks' into place which is a lot more satisfying than the previous rubbery feel.

Installation is a breeze (I did it in darkness with a torch in my mouth..it should only take about 20-30 minutes), just remove the airbox and the shift bracket is underneath (don't need to remove the battery like the mkv guide says). Remove the bolts, pop out the metal sleeve in between the old rubber bushings and then pop out the rubber bushings and replace with the aluminium ones and bolt her up again.

Easy as pie!

Well worth the 20 bucks

jason exactly how I felt, very well described. It really does click into each gear.
