I am sick of my sloppy shifting, after taking my ’04 GT V6 6sp to the dealer they said “nothing is wrong…we test drove it 4 miles,” I knew it would help to check out the shifter bushings. Well our stock bushing are crap!! Soft semi-hollow rubber junk. I did find out that the ’05 and current replacement stock bushings have been upgraded to SOLID soft rubber crap. Also, Hyundai told me that I couldn’t buy the bushings without buying the entire shifter linkage cable, @ $100.ooeach. NICE!
I have to get some nice solid urethane bushings. I posted asking for help and found none, http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=673025#post673025
I searched high and low for someone making Tiburon 6sp shifter cable bushings. I looked at many pics of bushings and even contacted machine shops hoping to have some brass or roller bearing bushings machined. NO LUCK
I came across Kartboy’s site http://www.allwheelengineering.com/basket/catalog.cgi?query_net_id=kartboy&query_class=KB-E006
and screamed “My, those EVO BUSHINGS look exactly like mine.”
I contacted Tom at Kartboy and he hooked me up with ½ a set to try for fitment….Total fit. I ordered the set and popped them in…they rock!!, literally rock solid precise shifting.
So, here is how you do it:
1. Order some Kartboy EVO SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS (Yeah, I know we have tibs, not evos, they are exactly the same size bushings) $30.00+shipping($3.00-priority) man shipps hella quick!!!
2. Get tools: Ratchet, extension, 10mm socket, Needle-nose pliers, and a Phillips head screwdriver.
3. Unclip the air box lid and remove the top lid and air filter.
