Anybody have any OEM shifter bushings?
I can barely tell if im hitting 3rd or 5th...
I have seen the expensive SRD ones, but id be happy with a set of used OEM's in decent shape.

Might wanna ck out the dealership price for these. I went w/SRD when mine wore out but have read on some other post that these are surprisingly inexpensive (~$10 USD?) to get direct from Mazda, unlike pretty much every other dealer replacement part for our cars.

They cost me $6 each, and you need four of 'em. My local dealership had 'em in stock, apparently they cross ref to a whole bunch of cars.

yah in canada i paid $3 each for the plastic bushings, and the 2 bolts were around $6 each. Its obviously a better idea to go with new, to keep your shifts tight and firm.

I was considering having them made. I have the dimensions but I've been too busy with other projects to follow it up. If you're not in a big hurry I'll have something in the next couple months.

I have the plastic with new bolts and grease, works fine. I thought Corksport sold the bronze ones?

My first MX-3 had brand new stock ones and they were great.

The stock ones work fine when brand new. I've had the SRD stabalizer arm bushing on all of mine and it rocks (but you cant buy them any more)

. corksport sells the bronzoil shifter bushings (set of 4) for $35 plus shipping. they work very well with the stock and corksport short shifter. i havent used them on the B&M or EBAY style short shifter though but i herad they might not fit in the bottom of the shifter.(holes are too small i think?)

I don't want to have the short shifter in it, I am probably going to keep my stock shifter, would the corksport bronze bushings still work? if so could someone post the link on corksport so I could buy them???

You should be ashamed of yourself for asking someone to do that for you.

Hey do you know if the B&M short shift and those corksport bushings will work together? And is that price pretty reasonable to have shipped to Canada? thanks

My stock bushings fit in my B&M shifter and the Corksport Bronze ones are supposed to replace the stock ones, so I figure they should.
As for price...I'm sure that's a reasonable price for them to charge. I'm not sure what shipping would be.
I'm trying to find a price for sintered bronze here in Edmonton so I can make some. I'm think I can make them for less, but I don't know yet for sure.
