Shifter Bushing

In a manual transmission vehicle, shifting is one of the key actions you undertake each time you take your vehicle out for a ride. If your gearshift isn't functioning properly, it can be difficult to shift from gear to gear, resulting in difficulty while driving. Shifting should be smooth and easy. If you find that shifting gears becomes tight and clunky, it could be that the shifter bushing needs to be replaced. This part in your gearshift mechanism ensures a solid feeling while shifting gears and eliminates excessive play between gears.

What is a shifter bushing?

Bushings are located throughout your vehicle. They are small components that help insulate vibration so that it isn't transferred to the passenger compartment of the car. You can find bushings throughout the suspension system, including in the alternator, sway bar, control arm and shock absorber. Another place they are found is in the gearshift mechanism, located at the base of the shifter lever. Shifter bushings insulate vibrations in the gearshift making for a more comfortable shifting experience. They also reduce "throw" in shifting gears resulting in a tighter shift, so the gearshift doesn't feel loose or bounce around between gears.

How much is a shifter bushing?

A shifter bushing costs on average between $10 and $15. It's a relatively inexpensive part that can drastically improve shifting quality. You can search the PartsGeek.com catalog to locate the bushing that is made to fit your vehicle and choose the brand that you want for your car or truck's make, model and year.

When should I replace a shifter bushing?

Since the bushing for the shifter is designed specifically to reduce play between gears and maintain the gearshift in place, you should replace it when the gearbox begins to feel looser and less solid than it did originally. Replacing this part can result in a much more satisfying gear shifting experience, because you'll be able to reach each gear more easily and quickly than when the shifter bushing was worn and causing slack and slippage during shifting.

Replacing the shifter bushing is a relatively inexpensive and fairly easy repair to make to your car or truck. The results are visible immediately, in a firmer, more responsive shifting experience.
