Description
 

TWM Shifter Base Bushings
Application: MAZDASPEED 3 and Mazda 3

TWM Performance shifter base bushing kits are designed to remove the vague or mushy feeling that plagues many stock shifters.

All shift assemblies found on cable actuated transmissions are mounted to the floor pan using thick, rubber bushings. During shifting these bushings flex and deform with the movement of the assembly. This flexing is translated directly to the shifter itself resulting in an imprecise or vague feeling while shifting.

TWM Performance shifter base bushings replace these rubber bushings creating a direct contact point between the floor pan and the shift assembly resulting in a far more precise, solid shift feel. These bushings are a fantastic way to improve your shifter at a very low cost. All kits are CNC machined using strict tolerances to ensure a "better than stock" fit and the highest level of performance possible. They also include all necessary hardware needed for installation and a detailed instruction manual.

Okay... August 21, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from United States  
Upon installing these bushings, honestly I felt no difference from stock. I havent rolled through the gears and drove hard with them yet (someone stated you can only tell the difference in hard driving) but as of normal driving nothing feels different. Id say its nice to know I have solid metal bushings rather than rubber, but I think this mod is just a good "placebo" effect.

Thanks Street Unit! July 28, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Youngsville, NC United States  
Shipping was stupid fast...ordered on a Friday and received on Monday!  Installation was not as hard as instructions make it.  No need to remove the entire console area, just the cupholder and shift boot/knob.  Slight difference in shift feel...more precise than with stock bushings!

great stuff April 7, 2009
Reviewer: Matthijs Kettenis from Seattle, WA United States  
Great product, definitely worth the $35! Had some trouble getting into 2nd before with OEM bushings. I noticed the left front metal insert was more oval than round.. The solid bushings feel much more solid and help me getting into 2nd very easy now!

Does its job August 26, 2008
Reviewer: Brian Crowley from Milford, CT United States  
I was skeptical at first of the effects that these bushings would have on shifting, but decided to buy them anyway because they were relatively cheap and people were saying good things about them.

You do have to temporarily remove the entire center console in order to get at the shifter base, but the entire process takes only about 40 minutes.

The difference between these bushings and stock is a more linear and precise shift. I notice it the most when shifting from 2nd to 3rd at almost every RPM range. I don't "miss" 3rd anymore.

Great item for a high price! June 15, 2008
Reviewer: Kyle Daniels from Canoga Park, CA United States  
This was a great item I added and makes shifting feel much more stiff and precise and not as sloppy and mushy as the stock bushings felt. Install was pretty easy, took more effort that other cars to remove the shifter required the entire console to come out which wasn't hard but I wish it didn't have to happen. It is an expensive price for a couple silver bushings... but you will feel the difference which is good.
