Default Shift Cable bushings

Is there anything i can use to replace the shift cable bushings in my engine compartment? They are gone, and every shop i go to saysthat they are not made?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thats them...and they are great. They take some getting used to, but worth it.

Will adding these help save, or at least delay needing to change, my shift cables? I am having my clutch replaced, and my mechanic said i needed new cables. I am hoping the bushings will save them.

Probably...most people say it's the cables, but it's usually the bushings.

Those missing bushings are what is removed to install BoogerBushings. So unless you cable is physically damaged another way that is all you need.

he is probally just saying that you need new cables because unless you get the booger bushings, the only way to get new ones is to replace the whole cable assembly

The booger bushings also improve the feel of the shifter. The booger bushings were one of the first things I put on. I recently received my STS with more booger bushings to go along with it just incase.. U can't go wrong with them. Howell automotive and Modern performance have them too.

They are a bit cheaper direct from Jeff though.

Thanks. i'll be ordering them tonight. Does he have a pretty quick turn around on shipping?

My mechanic wants his email. he replaces at least a set of cables on Chrysler cars a week because of bushings.
