Rubber or plastic for shifter bushings

Postby 92rrrandall » 10 Nov 2008 14:53

If I am installing new shifter bushings in a transmission which is already out of the car. Which shifter bushings do you think I should use??...new original rubber, or the plastic ones??

Poly is what I was thinking too. Just wanted to make sure that I was not going to be missing something with the original rubber parts.

Go poly - one of the key benefits is that they don't turn to jello like rubber does when covered with oil.

Every LT77 I have run has suffered a small oil leak. Most of this egress accumulates on the gearbox mount, but some makes its way onto the remote shifter bushings.

YMMV
