D.Hearne said:I don't know why Hurst insists on including the POS plastic bushings in the kit. They'd do themselves a favor by putting both plastic and the steels in the kit. Not many know about the steel bushings, you have to search for their part# in their site. They used to be a common item in the speed shops (along with the shifters) The plastic ones dampen the shifter noise, but the steels last longer and give it a slightly firmer shift feel.
Amen. Just add the extra $3.26 to the price of the shifter and add an extra paragraph to the directions about which bushing to use based upon owner preference. I wouldn't blink at an extra $3 for the shifter but, what a pain to have to learn about them (in my case the hard way) and then have to order and wait for them.
