this is right up there with the rear sway bar as far as i am concernedm what a drastic diferance, from sloppy feel (oe bushings were shot at 50K) and nice tight short throw.

only thing is what every one else seems to say...getting used to kinda slaming (not realy slaming, just more effort) over and down to reverse.

this also got rid of the engine movement feed back i was experiancing...now for lower motor mounts

 

Thats great to hear..... i think you made my mind....

one quick question, is the shifting really "stiff" and like harder to shift or still smooth like factory?

 

there is a nylock nut tighten on the actuall shifter rod in hte car that you can make tight and stiff...or just like stock...mine is just like stock.

 

it is a little stiffer but thats good. the stock throws are sloppy with a lot of play. with the bushings its stiff and precise...you know its going in to the gear.

and reverse is hard...my girl has to use both hands (to put the car in reverse)

 

"is hard...my girl has to use both hands" ....lol....mine does too

 

mine is as easy to move as the stock set up was...its just crisper, again...i played with the tension of hte nylock ny like puppetmaster siad in his write up http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=455387 and it is as easy as stock.

you just need to be fast with a little more than normal effert for reverse...no complaits here.

 

Would this help with the 3rd gear crunch alot of us are getting?

 

Yes..... it helps a bit.

 

I still think that the throw on the homemade STS is shorter then something like this. I purchased a STS like this and went back to the homemade version because I thought the throw was shorter.

 

the STS or the shifter bushings?

 

bushings.....

 

yea thats what I figured...hmm I took advantage of Brian's weekly sale and got them for $26 I believe but never got them installed. Not to jack the thread, but how much should they cost to install?

 

um, install them your self...rather easy if you have some skill

 

install is very easy...they come with instructions.
