Ok, you've tweaked my interest. :D

Does this replace number 13 (on the lower right hand side) in the pic below?

Edit: Linkified the Pic so that its easier to view this thread. The picture is a breakaway of the transmission linkage.

yup :) thats the one.

Tom

Good stuff. :) Look for my order soon.

I still have to get my shifter bushings installed. I'll check out this other bushing when I do that install and its almost guaranteed that'll put one of these on my list of things to get.. :D

what would this bushing do? would it stiffen and make the throw of the shifter even more precise?
i'm already running KB SS and bushing..
+1 for kartboy they sell good stuff.

yeah what kenji815 said

I'd also like to know the answer please. Bump for kartboy's good replacment for the oem godzilla pos bushing

I thought you had forgot about these Tom!
:)

Are the installation instructions posted anywhere?

were working( when i say that i mean Peaty:)) is working on them right now.
its pretty easy install. basic hand tools are what is needed

Tom

What does it do?

When will i receive my package for Jonathan Hamachi?

+1 more for what difference this makes?

The install is not hard at all only a 20 to 30 min job. Stiffer shifter feel. No more play with the old rubber bushing. Works well with the other kartboy shifter bushings and short shifter.

Easy install (as long as you don't cross thread and break off a bolt)...

The rear KB shifter bushing seems to give an even more solid feel to the shifter than just the front KB shifter bushing alone. These just go that extra step, a little tighter shifting. The combo is great. I wouldn't do the rear bushing without doing the front also.

so the front is just the regular kartboy shifter's bushing?

Hey! I want one! I checked the site, but it shows out of stock. :( When are more coming or where else can I get one?

does this really do anything?? I'd like to know.. becaues I love the ss and the front(original) and would like to know if this would remove more of the play..

I'll have to go under the car thisweekend to see if there's is play there

Hello

Thanks
Tom

Tom, I saw that someone had kart boy rear diff bushing, but I don't see them on your web site. Do you make them?

yes there kind of hidden under the droplinks page. i need to change that.
heres a direct link. http://www.allwheelengineering.com/basket/catalog.cgi?query_net_id=kartboy&query_class=KB-017

Tom

Thanks, so what are the advantages of your's over whiteline if any?

Tom, why didn't you have the front or rear diff bushing in your site? But you have the installation instrution........

I should have bought one of these at RIM. When are going to have more in stock?

your site still says out of stock:(

when will they be in stock?

HOPEFULLY by Wednesday i'll have some in stock. My urethane shop had a problem with their lathe that does the final machine work to them., but its up and running now.
sorry for all the delays. i'll post as soon as they are in my hands.

Tom

Just got them in my hands. Kartboy's little helpers are working like mad to package them up for mass consumption!
Get them while their still in stock.
Rear Diff Bushings are in stock again too.

Rear Shifter Bushings are 35.00
Rear Diff Bushings are 32.00 and are located under the Droplinks page.

Tom,

I'd like to know if we can get a cheaper price for group buy on Kartboy products. J/W.

Hello
Prices are set for all the dealers. kinda like Apple products. We find it a lot better to do business this way. No one will be undercutting each other and running others out of business. We feel that our pricing is more than fair for everyone.

Thanks
Tom

Awesome, just ordered one up.

yo Tom, got my bushing today! thanks man

-ROB

you got e-mail Tom

-ROB

check your paypal Tom :)

thanks

Hey Tom, got it in the other day. I already have the short throw and shifter bushings and it still made a noticable improvement. A little harder to install than I thought, but not too bad. Thanks again :) BTW a friend who went through the Russell Race School said it felt like one of their cars... pretty good compliment I think.

Cool
Glad you like the shifter setup :)

now when are you going to take the car to driving school? :)

Tom

Cool

Tom

Easy, Tom :) Actually I drove it at a 2 day auto-x this weekend. I just need to sort out the rear camber and ya know stop hitting cones :( and I think the car will be pretty competitive in STX. My raw time was only about 2 seconds off the leader. So who needs driving school ;)

Placed order, Bump for Da K-boy

I installed my kartboy rear shifter bushing this weekend, and it's a great shifter upgrade especially with the front bushings installed too. When you install make sure you put in the passenger side of the bushing first because otherwise it's a pita to get that bad boy in there.

When I did a test run the shifting felt much more "clean/precise" shifting into reverse, which used to be a little testy at times, now just drops right into place. Bump for another great product from kartboy!

Extremely fast shipping, my sister and I both got ours today. He even included free candy! hehe. Thanks again.

Installed it today, very great improvement. Removed the rest of the spongy feeling after only installing the front bushings. The only thing is getting around the damn heatshield/exhaust on a 2.5rs is a pain!

Yeah its not impossible but it takes a little manuvering :)

Bump!

Hey I didn't get any free candy! (sniffle, sniffle) :(

HEHE
sorry, if you just ordered the shifter bushings that come in the small envelope, i cant put candy in there. i got introuble for jamming the sorting maching LOL
i'll Paypal you the 25cents if you want LOL

Tom

No, No... it's not necessary I'll get over it.... eventually ;)

mmmmmmm candy...... candy + smooth shifting = goodness.

lol, i got candy + a cool Kartboy temporary tattoo! :cool:

yo, Tom thanks for the SS and bushings!

-ROB

I know you guys are trying to rub it in, but it won't work because I got another Kartboy order in today and it came with candy, yummmm... :D

I ordered mine today. I wanted to order more than I did, but I'm waiting on cash.

HEHE
Then i'll have to wait for more cash then too.
TTT!

woohoo! got both front and rear bushings today! oh ya, and the candy too :)

I got my rear shifter bushing a couple days ago and I tried to install it today.... to no avail.... I can get one bolt in but not the second... it doesn't matter which side I try first. Is there any trick to it? It seems unnecessarily difficult... FWIW I have a 2000 RS. Thanks for the help.

there's no trick. what i did is i put the left one in and turn a few turns but don't tighten it, and i press the right side of the bushing against the metal and put the right bolt in and tighten it first, then the left side. but i guess either side works. you can also try to look up in http://www.scoobymods.com/
good luck installing.

Finally got the bushing in with a little help. Definately an improvement over the sloppy stock feel. Paired with Cobb's SS and front bushings this really completes the setup. There's almost no free play in the shifter, and the shifts feel very precise and clean. Well worth the money! Way to go Kartboy!

Bump!
it looks like there is a little tolerance stack on the holes from SOA. The bushings will fit, it just might take a few extra min to get it lined up correctly.

Happy Shifting
Tom

i would like one. do you have these in stock? thanks!

lots of them in stock.
order away!:)

What exactly to the rear differential bushings do? Keep it from moving as much?

just ordered a rear shifter bushing! Thanks!

Just ordered the front and rear bushings, this is to go on my STi short shift kit and from what I hear it will improve the feel by 200%, Cheers
