Hey guys I want to get the third link bushing from the dealer, but they can't seem to find it. Do you guys know the part number for it?

you can't get it at mazda. the shift linkeage is all one piece. the SRD kit requires you to drill it out to install the bushings. You can do that if you want and just install oem bushings.

That is the point.....Which oem bushing?

shifter bushings? SRD part # S1401

as found here:

looks like they are $35 a set tho.

a quick search led me to http://www.mx6.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; a thread there leads to mx3 & mx6 bushings being the same and (mx6) bushings can are about $20 at dealership. original post below:

Those rarely get much wear at all as long as the two large washers on the sides are not removed (lost during a tranny change perhaps).

I cannot see the bronze ones you're suggesting being any benefit over the OEM replacement ones which are under $20 for the pair from Mazda for the MX-6.

The question still remains which oem bushings do I put in if I drill the third link bushing out? Is it the same as the other 4 shifter bushings?

Bump!

Can anyone please answer my question?

The 3rd link bushings are the same as the bushings at the bottom of the shifter.

Thanks a whole bunch!!!!
