spudley1988 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey folks just a quickie. Most of my mb6 is poly bushed but is their anywhere that could be bushes that would make gear changes extremely tight? Also had a shortshift if that makes any diff to it.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 i'm a little confused do you want the gear linkage poly bushed and a short shifter? or are you asking why they are tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sorry lol it's been a long day. Would the gear linkage being poly bushed make the changes tighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 yes mate they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Personally noticed no difference changing shifter bushes to poly. Sure someone would disagree tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Not done it on the deck yet. The biggest difference was the short shifter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Personally noticed no difference changing shifter bushes to poly.Sure someone would disagree thoHaven't had it done in a Honda, experienced it with a Leon Cupra R which I thought felt much better to use after. Different cars though so may not really mean anything here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I fitted energy suspension shifter polybushes along with a buddyclub dual bend short shifter to my ek4, what a difference! Something I really want to do to my deck as it feels a bit sloppy. Also read that the knuckle joint on the end I the linkage can become worn and folk strip them and replace the washers and can make a big difference if worn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Defo that universal joint. If ya got side to side slop. That's likely where it comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Defo that universal joint. If ya got side to side slop. That's likely where it comes from. Are we talking about the linkage up at the bottom of the shifter? Or down by the box ? Mine still suffers from a little side to side action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
