Surprised nobody has said anything but you really should drench those bushings in the grease they provide when you buy them. If they didn't give you any grease then you bought from a really really cheap company. Energy Suspension sells a kit for $13 and provides way more grease than you need. Without the grease those bushing will get damaged much sooner and you will probably hear them all the time too. Grease is a big part of doing this right.

[@stormdowg]

Very important. Appreciate someone mentioning it

[@davidecasassa8679]

Yes! If a kit omits it, get the stiffest silicone grease you can find - that's what my kit (branded "Prothane") came with.

[@mateodamian7833]

I just replaced mine with aluminum bushings with no grease and found out the hard way. Scared me because i thought it was my transmission. Drenched those suckers thanks to you

[@OneSlowCivic]

All bushings or just the ones that connect to the front end?

[@brandoneberlin1694]

All of us in the rust belt (me in ny) would be like here’s how we change a shifter bushing. “Breaks out the torch set” first you wanna make this bolt here not exist anymore and then go ahead and run to the hardware store and grab ya a new bolt and slap it on there lol 😂 awesome content though man I like how you compare old to new and show everything in depth !

[@kmsscontracting1186]

Facts I'm from New York you might at as well make a duct tape bushing.. dont need a bolt

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Brandon Eberlin I usually record the entire process of removing and what not but I need a lift to make filming under the car easier lol

[@brandoneberlin1694]

Texas Honda Channel yeah it’s hard enough working under a car on jack stands let alone trying to film!

[@HiFiInsider]

I wonder how the aftermarket bushings feel compared to brand new OEM ones. I'm debating if I should just replace mine with OEM.

[@davidkerr6597]

Great video! I just did it in my '99 civic and the thing shifts like new. FWIW, I replaced only the front bushing. My rear bushing seemed to be in fine shape, and a flange was going to make removal and replacement very difficult.

[@nolehopkins1077]

Yo man, I must say wauchkng toir videos makes wanna start tuning my 03 lx. I am 42 and dont wanna get a high end sports car for my mid life crisis. Lol. Think I'll just turbo my civic. Keep up the vids bro.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Nole Hopkins Heck yea that would be cool!!

[@kmsscontracting1186]

Thanks I just ordered the bushing kit and subscribed keep it up

[@AdventureOutintheWildreness]

Great vid, I did the same mod Saturday. Mine are solid aluminium. Super solid and no slop.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Tony Ventura Yea the solids are amazing too.

[@morgan6519]

Do you think it would fix a shift knob that literally lays on it side. Car still shifts fine but the shifter litterly lays around

[@AndrewLavarda]

Just picked up a set for my 95 Ej1🤘🏼 Awesome videos man!

[@Acc3l3ratoR]

Excelent ...I have a set ...but I did not find a video installation. Thanks a lot !!!

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Acc3l3ratoR No problem I have more coming soon.

[@UntiI117]

Just did this over the weekend, the ones for the satblizer bar were a huge pain lol. But I still have slop in my shifter, the shift joint that connects to the transmission is really loose so trying g to find a way to fix that

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Trippy_g00n I’ll message you on Instagram about the shifter slop fix.

[@chottozumi]

Thank you for this video. I just ordered a kit through your link!! Subscribed, too. Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@uselink5-75]

I replaced mine with the same brand of bushing and also put a E bay short throw in also(96 civic), I did run into a problem is the stock bolt would not go into the metal sleeve of the new one, I had to go get a new bolt that was threaded all the way, the e bay shifter hasn't broke like others on here complain but then I'm not slamming it to break on purpose like other videos.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

The Uselink Project Yea I have only had one cheap eBay shifter break but it was -20 degrees and i was being hard on it otherwise they don’t break easy

[@codysmith3857]

Good job buddy and keep up the good work and hope all is well with you and your family and keep living life to the fullest

[@joemartinez21024]

Great vid bro I’m gonna order some of those

yoooooo, just found this vid, have to do it to my build. cant wait to install shortshifter

[@ranger_dudeoff-roadadventu1903]

Just the video I needed to see thanks

[@TheDalk]

I really like the bandaids on the fender and bumper. Great disguise I’ve font something similar.

[@BoostedPastime]

What are your thoughts on using solid metal bushings versus poly bushings?

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Boosted Fool I actually mentioned that in the video :D

[@BoostedPastime]

@@TexasHondaChannel yeah I need to comment after I watch lol, good to see the upgrade thank you for showing us the difference between how wobbly the OEM rubber is!

[@psychoeclipze]

Great video, one question: The 12mm bolt holding the circle bushings keep spinning, but won’t come out. I think I’m loosening the bolt, but it’s still in the same place. Is there anyway I can remove that bolt?

[@chasemcdowell2047]

had to remove the transmission this past weekend on mine. A buddy and i had the same issue, we ended up having to use a small grinder and cutting the nut off and putting a new bolt, with washer and lock washer, and a nut on the other end.

[@psychoeclipze]

@@chasemcdowell2047 oh cool! Good to know. So you had to get a new bolt, lock washer, and a regular washer?

[@imaginaries8997]

same how did you fix yours?

[@psychoeclipze]

@@imaginaries8997 we did what chase said, cut the nut and had to get new hardware. I got a new bolt, locking nut, and some spacers. Looked up the correct bolt and nut previously used.

[@yavenpersaud6153]

What is the proper name for the little metal bracket by the bushing?

[@rainelo3963]

how did you get the bushing onto the rod under the shifter? Im having a hard time and need to know the easiest way to get that bushing past the rod end and onto the rod

[@marley91crxsi82]

Yooo James awsome content

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Marley91crx, SI Thanks! Will do

[@DatHondaBoi223]

i installed a short throw shifter, all with new bushings about a week ago, and just today i noticed my shifter makes a weird tapping noise when taking off, and my shifter shakes a tiny bit more than usual when taking off, the same time the tapping sound is occurring. Any ideas?

[@guitarguy3221]

Nice ass shift knob 👍 thought about replacing my 8 ball with something dark & acrylic in my truck

[@ferrarif174]

what were the symptoms of those bad bushings?

[@jorgemedina1546]

Hello good afternoon, excuse a question, the speeds are not lost?

[@arwinsoriano9373]

This is very helpful. Thank you boss

[@Marr3s]

Awesome video! Helped a lot! Is that an eBay turbo kit? I just got my project car and I was thinking about eBay build

[@balloney2175]

Will this apply on Honda Civic '97?

[@dkinley334]

Yes

Great video !

Cool thanks James

What's the torque on shifter linkage?

Marley91crx, SI Yes sir haha 35psi it’s gonna be a ripper

[@haunter_1845]

Wish my EJ8 was still that clean under there. Really looks good. Mine is a 340,000 mile car that's been on salty roads it's whole life. Still cleaner than most up here but bad enough to change the nature of even small jobs like this. I wonder why none of the kits come with the third rotation bushing. I've never changed mine but would like to.

[@chickensfloat7427]

I know your pain. Grew up in Wi my jeeps a rot box but bought a 99 4dr 5 speed rust free here in florida, just drove it home today and its totally different than my jeep. The jeep is high civic low. Slow and quick. Handles awful and handles good. Rough and smooth, boat rowing shifter vs much shorter throw. V8 vs i4, rwd vs fwd, locked diff vs open. That on top of a new area ive never driven in and its a miracle i didmt wreck it on the way home. She runs good but some small tlc needed like a hood release handle, a rear door doesnt open, and defrost doesnt work but hey it was only a thousand bucks for a running driving civic but the shifter is awfull so im gonna try some bushings and see if that helps. Its too quiet too i camt hear when to ahift half the time so i want louder but dont know where to get a muffler that doesnt sound like crap

[@haunter_1845]

​@@chickensfloat7427 A $1,000 5spd Honda from florida is a great deal. Mine was $1,200 with 200k and I've been offered $1,200 after 300k. There aren't too many of these cars left that haven't been messed with too bad.

[@brucecarson1778]

35lbs holy cow !!!! Teach me master

[@hox2596]

I replaced my shifter bushings and ball seat bushing. It fixed the loose feel and made it stiffer but I'm still able to move the shifter left and right when in gear. Is this normal or is there another problem?

[@hox2596]

@@SketchyMotorsports my ball seat bushing was installed wrong. I i stalled it right and it took away some more slop but its still there. Turns out other people have it on stock shifters. Im getting a ktuned shifter which has its own ball seat hosuing, hopefully it won't have slop

maybe

Hey so I have a d17 with a really loose shifter, do you think this would work for it?

Yes mines literally fell off today while driving I felt the loose shifting like 3 days ago didn’t really think much of it but you should check it out b4 that also happens to you
