Agreed... If that doesn't help then I would tend to believe whoever installed it messed up somewhere...I definitely had a noticeable increase in torque throughout all gears.
That raises a good point...if the aluminum is better, then why would they go to the trouble of using rubber mounts at all? Wouldn't it make more sense both in ease and cost savings to hard mount it?
That would be awesome...had an Evo2 on a 2000 si and loved the sound, quiet around town and mean in vtec...anyone have the q300 or have any reviews on it?
I assumed that, based on the location that the parts install...i understand the concept and why it would be beneficial in general, but since I don't have any play to begin with, that led me to ask the question. Maybe I got the Wednesday built car and got lucky, who knows, that's why I initially...
Being fairly intelligent helps ;) When the car is in any gear, don't have any excess play in the shifter. I actually checked it after seeing this thread just out of curiosity. My initial question of the benefit of the bushings wasn't because I doubted they provided any improvement, but...
What is the advantage of the bushings? I don't really see any improvement to be had from swapping them out based on how it all goes together. The short shifter on the other hand is a fantastic upgrade, should have been like this from the factory!
