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.

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.

If you Love your Shifter Buy These May 1, 2008
Reviewer: Mac from Germany  
I thought these were going to be a pain to install. Once I got down to the shifter base, I had a big smile on my face. I have taken the interiors apart on a few cars before, this car is simple. Its like 6 screws and your whole center console is out. Easily worth the time and money.

A must buy March 13, 2008
Reviewer: Charles from Rosemead, CA United States  
Greatly improves the feel of the shifter.  One of the weak points to the MS3 is the shifter feel and this mods helps it alot.  A more direct feel and helps improve shift times.  This is a must do mod, improves drivability and you'll love your car even more.  Instructions are pretty straight foward and are easy to understand.
