Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

  • Reduced Vibrations and Noise: Fresh bushings help dampen vibrations and reduce noise from the shifter assembly, contributing to a smoother, quieter ride.
  • Extended Shifter Life: By maintaining proper alignment and reducing stress on other components, replacing old bushings can help extend the life of the entire shifter assembly.
