Description:
This kit provides the optimal solution for those who want to upgrade their shifter bushings to the best option available. It includes all of the recommended components that should be replaced during the bushing upgrade. Read on below for more details about the Solid Pin Bushings.
Original plastic Shifter Pin Bushings are known for wearing out and causing sloppy shifter movement. Similar to solid bushings that Nissan Competition discontinued a long time ago, these solid Shifter Pin bushings are the answer. They are manufactured in the USA from self-lubricating 932 Bearing Bronze. Once installed, the firm feel of your shifter will pleasantly surprise you. While Self-Lubricating Bronze can be used "dry", it is even more amazing with good quality grease. With a high end bearing grease, these bushings will most likely far outlast your Z!.
Original Transmission Lever Type:
These bushings will only fit in 72-81 "B-Style" transmission shift levers. B-Style transmissions have a horizontal pin that holds the lever in place and uses a pair of cylindrical nylon bushings (which this kit replaces). If your transmission uses vertically mounted rubber bushings (70-71 A-Style), or if your shift lever has rectangular bushing holes with springs (factory 82-83 N/T B-Style), this kit will not work. Likewise, if the transmission and lever in your 70-71 model matches the 72-81 B-Style description, then this bushing kit will work. Please give us a call at (714)639-2620 if you aren't sure which transmission type you have prior to ordering.
Note:
If you painted or powder coated your shift lever, that coating may need to be removed from the pin area, as these bushings are a very precise fit. Ensure that your lever is completely free of any rust or debris prior to installation. Please call if you have any questions.
