Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Anybody install these?

http://www.kumosport.com/

Just wondered if it was worth the $25, or if I just need to go with a short shifter. Thoughts?

Damn - no replies! That sucks! Anybody know anything about these?

They are just new bushings for your shifter, those things are becoming very popular over seas lately, I've never used them, and i doubt very many of us have, but i've heard they work.

Hey thanks for the reply! I figured for $25 I might give em a try but wanted some opinion from the experts on this site.

I HAVE THEM!!!!!...they work great!!! basically, your shifter bushings are rubber...the kumosport ones are solid. your shifter doesn't have as much play in it afterward...if I put it into gear, there is no play AT ALL!! its definitely worth it, because it keeps things so firm, that you won't have any mis-shift problems...you can really feel exactly where the shifter is going...its definitely worth the $25.00

I should be doing that shortly. but I just got springs so I'm broke.

$25 whoa, cheap, i want this... did you install urself or shop? if so how much you pay for install?

^^^^ Dude don't pay someone to intall them. It is only a couple of screws to get you center console apart Even someone with no mechanical skill could even do this install

those go in your engine bay i beleive.

Oh i thought they were talking about the bushing for the shifter in the center console, Oops my bad. Thanks Josh for the heads up

nope there under the shifter it self

if you take off the shift boot and look down you see the big hunk of white plastic that hold shifter and linkages and on that plastic theres 4 bolts take them out and the rubber pieces and replace with the solid bushings and bolt back in take you 5 minutes

See Josh i was right, quit confusing me... Go surfing or something

when you buy a trd shifter, does it come with better bushings, or do you recommend these bushings on them?

most ss's come with them i know my obx did if the trd doesn't you can get these later

yeah, they go in the center console...and replace the rubber bushings holding the plastic shifter housing down...it comes with directions, and is easy as all hell to install...it even provides you with a tool list so you don't have to keep stopping. IT took me about 35 minutes to take it apart, take the crap bushings out, put the new ones in, and put everything back together. (if you lift the shifter after removing the bolts that secure it to the floor, they will pull out from the bottom by hand)...its really super easy, and makes your shifting super crisp

Is the TRD Shifter ment to come with the brass bushings?? Because mine didn't...

oh... my shifter came with these...


i thought they replaced the crappy bushings in the shift linkage.
