Description

The CUSCO Shift Linkage Bushing is a precision-engineered drivetrain upgrade designed to enhance shift feel and precision by eliminating the softness and vagueness of the factory rubber bushings. By replacing the stock rubber bushing in the shift lever mount with a high-density urethane bushing, this component suppresses excess movement, reduces shift slop, and delivers a more direct, mechanical, and confident shifting experience—especially during spirited and performance driving.

Product Highlights

⚙️ High-Density Urethane Bushing
Replaces the soft, compliant factory rubber bushing with a rigid, high-density urethane bushing that dramatically reduces flex and unwanted movement in the shift linkage.

🎯 Sharper, More Precise Shift Feel
Eliminates the vague, rubbery sensation often associated with OEM shifters, providing a crisp, direct, and mechanical shift action that improves driver feedback and confidence.

⚡ Supports Quicker, More Accurate Shifts
By minimizing linkage deflection, the bushing enables faster and more positive gear engagement, reducing the likelihood of missed shifts during aggressive driving, track use, or rapid gear changes.

🔧 Simple Replacement – Direct Fit
A straightforward component swap that requires no modification. The urethane bushing is designed as a direct replacement for the original rubber bushing, ensuring easy installation and immediate improvement.

🔗 Synergistic Upgrade with Relocation Kit
For the ultimate shift improvement, this bushing can be combined with the CUSCO Shift Lever Relocation Kit (Product Code: 1C7-936-A), pairing enhanced precision with optimized ergonomics for a transformed shifting experience.
