try some of those they should have them

 

alright thanks

 

Would replacing this bushing (See below) with a poly one really have any effect on shifter feel or anything or should I just grab a rubber one? Basically, is there going to be any kid of difference?

 

that bushing makes a huge difference when you change it to poly. its well worth it. and chances are that the rattles you guys are having (if its not just something loose) is from the aftermarket short throw shifter having a longer arm underneath the pivot point (longer arm on the working end makes the control end move less to shift) and its too low to clear your exhaust. its not an easy fix, but its also usually not much of an interference, so a couple of mm of clearance should do it. try bending your exhaust hangers a little so that the exhaust hangs lower.

 

but i looked and its not touching. its close but not touching. so should i just get the bushings?

 

Everything is tightened up in there, and it's definitely not hitting the exhaust. I had to cut the weight looking things off the bottom of where the linkage connects to the shift lever so it would clear, but it's definitely not hitting. I think it has to be that bushing being loose as hell, is that even a possability, Sacs?

I'm just going to get a poly bushing for that and the bottom of the shift lever to tighten it up anyways. Hopefully that'll help it out, I'll post up the results, adelleda.

 

that sounds good.

 

well ive been searching for the bushings and couldnt find any on ebay. do they have to be specifically for a 1999 civic or is it more of a 'universal fit'? ill probably just end up going to a transmision shop or a tuner shop.

 

I'm betting it'd be the same as any D series engine/tranny. Ask a parts store for a part number or something. Anyone have an ideas on how to get ahold of them?

Yep, those bushings definitely help a positive shift feel. It's awesome. Definitely recomoned these to everyone.

After installing them and doing some pounding though it still seemed to make the noise so, we yanked the bushing out of the end of the shift rod, cleaned it up, lubed it up and stuck back in, no more ratteling.
