You would be wise to set the bronze bush on a block of timber on your bench, lube the ball on the tip of the gearstick with a bit of grease, then a solid whack on the end gearstick (remove gearknob) with a decent sized hammer, will pop the new bush on to the ball.

Let us know how the bush goes, I saw them the other day and wondered if it was worth getting

I think the slop in mine is from the Ball it rotates on (or rather the plastic bush it sits in) around the middle of the shifter but

Thanks daleo! Yeah man ill test drive it tonight when it's in and ill let you know mang!!!

The bushing goes great! Once you get it all fitted up it feels really tight! But once you drive it.. It is amazing! No sloppiness at all!

Hey mate how did you get the old plastic one off?

[turboedsloth]

it just flicks off, or "peel" it off with a pair of multigrips

Hi-jacking the thread... Gktech only has the bush for r33 gtr shifter. Will this bush fit on the r33 gtst?

Did you notice any vibrations or extra noise? I have the bush but havent put it in, dont want any noise or vibration because its street driven

I got the same bushing. It was an absolute prick to get on as well. Makes for a little smoother shift. Had mine for nearly a year I'm guessing.

I got mine from GKTech and I've got a GTST?

Notice any exta vibrations or noise from having a solid bush instead of plastic?

I've got one sitting here, but not sure if I should use it

[GotsWapan]

No vibrations or issues at all with mine. I'd say its worth the stuffing around to put in I think I mounted mine on a vice somehow and gave it a few love taps.
But my memory is coming back to me now. As that little ball is so tight to get on in the first place, I found it had actually expanded the brass a little and I had to sand some of the brass down so it would actually fit back into the gearbox. But safe to say I don't think it'll ever be coming out again.

try heating it up in with a heat gun or get the misses to turn to oven on and heat it up, should pop on pretty easy.

Just looked them up, it says r34 gtst

Would that fit a non turbo r34 gt25?

[eXquiSit]

Just wondering which bush did everyone use to fit onto a r33 rb25 box?

I reckon the r32/33 gtr one would be the one to get

[iruvyouskyrine]

You need the bigger of the two for R33 RB25 box.

[eXquiSit]

the gtr one would be the bigger one then

cheers
