Great video mate, and cheers for the bush was me who bought it, arrived a couple of days ago hopefully get it fitted the weekend 👍
Thanks mate much appreciated and great I’m glad it got there all okay, let me know what you think of it when fitted im well happy with mine
Great little mod, good video well explained, thanks
Thanks bud I really appreciate it 😊👍🏻
I see the Hershey's rapper down their pukka 💪🏻,, great vid dude if u still got the spair I'd be happy to install that on my st 150 have it tomorrow if eny good again sick install bro
It’s defo a daily 😂 hasn’t been cleaned inside for ages that will be the task this week thanks and it literally sold within 5 mins of the video going up I’ve left an eBay link in the description for anyone wanting them though and thanks mate much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Nice little fix, looked a pig to get it off though. I do t think mine is really in need as still pretty firm. But cool to see how to do it
Thanks bud and yeah Atleast if yours does get some free play you don’t have to worry about doing cables as they’re not fun on these
Another great video, bought one for myself straight away 😅
Thanks mate much appreciated and defo worth it mate honestly feels lovely to drive now
@@6uiltdifferent tempted to find a shorts shifter and fit that at the same time lol
@@jahcrispie7676 get the mountune arm😊
@@6uiltdifferent £180 vs my £50 Kaypart one - does the same thing, but I know what one I would rather have!

Epic, been looking for solid bushings for so long 👌
You think there is a solid bushing out there for that squishy rubber piece that goes on the gearbox side?
Not sure mate I’d have to look into the other side
Just fitted the Mountune short shifter which I bought from eBay that came with a poly bush for the gear linkage cable (replaces the black plastic/rubber). Never seen one of the bushes before. Then changed the gearbox oil and fitted this solid bush. I've only got a 1.4L but the play in the gearstick was really annoying me and liked the idea of the short shifter. The only play that I have now is like you said a bit in the cable and there seems to be a bit of side to side play in the gear selector itself (the part that the knob screws onto) which was present even after popping off the bush but it's minimal.
Haven’t got that bush that you got with the mountune shifter as I got mine second hand but the bushes on the other end seem alright but yeah you’ll always have a little bit but as long as it’s not excessive like these cars always have that’s the main thing should feel quite a difference now mate
@@6uiltdifferent @ThatFrozenFez Mine was second hand mate, the bush doesn't come with the mountune shifter originally it was something the seller had bought separate. My bush on the gear linkage was fine but thought if I had it I might as well fit it. Definitely feel a difference after the combination of changes. Have you changed the gearbox oil yet? Was surprised how black it was.
@@Nyle95 ahh right might have to get one myself just for the sake of it haha and yes I’ve changed it twice now when I did the driveshafts and when I did the clutch last year mine was a nice gold colour looked fairly new yours was probably the original oil or it’s had a hard life
@@6uiltdifferent Might as well, not sure where you'd get one from though. I'd hazard a guess that mine had the original gearbox oil in. It's a 54 plate but only done just over 93k miles, nearly 20k of them are from myself in nearly 2 years. Will change it again maybe after 30-40k.
@@Nyle95 no clue I can only have a look and possibly mate it’s good to change it every once in a while especially if you’re driving it hard
I've been looking for a solution for this for awhile but found nothing, looking forward to fixing the slop.
You wouldn't happen to have the part number would you?
Just seen its a kit on Ebay with your link, will order. Cheers mate.
No problem hopefully this will help you too 😊👍🏻
i bought this solid bushing a little while ago but i wanted to take it off however it just doesn’t come off, it just spins inside the cable, i used thread lock, do you have any idea how i would get it out? i’ve tried for hours😭😭
I’m sure the other side is designed to take a spanner if not you’ll have to try and grip it with pliers
Did you have a lot of play in the gear stick when it's in gear too or just neutral? Noticed that I have this recently.
A lot of play in gear too mate would miss third a lot but when in gear I could rock the shifter around easily
@@6uiltdifferent Cheers. Just had a look at some ads for the solid bushes on ebay and one of them says "Replaces the rubber bushings on BOTH shift cables where they attach to the transmission shifter arms" so both are intended to be used on the same car?
@@Nyle95 that’s on the focus rs
@@6uiltdifferent Oh okay, thought that may be the case. Cheers mate.
@@Nyle95 no worries bud
If you want a cheaper option, drill a little hole on the side of the old "bushing" and fill it with silicone, that is what I did and it works amazing!
Here is a video before: ruclips.net/video/_loRVRGqF1g/видео.html
And after I did that: ruclips.net/video/SEG3Svam0PU/видео.html
The bush probably cost the same as the tube of silicone you bought
@@6uiltdifferent The silicone tube costs 4 pounds in my country, doubt that it is much more in the UK while the bush costs 19 pounds + 20 pounds for shipping to my country so I would say that it cost me 10 times less 😅 Of course the bush is a much nicer solution but giving 40 pounds for a bush is just crazy so if someone is saving money or lives in a country where 19 pounds is a lot then silicone is a nice choice 😁
@@LudiFrenki it’a 20 quid but other sets for a tenner and the silicone isn’t cheap here haha
@@6uiltdifferent I would love to order a bunch of parts from the UK but the shipping costs me more than the parts plus I have to pay taxes and import fees because UK left the EU 😭 So I have to DIY my ST
@@LudiFrenki it must be tough shipping wise I feel for you guys overseas it’s hard enough affording the parts I must admit
hello mate, a year later, did this cause any issues, get loose etc? Worthwhile upgrade?
I’ve had it come loose after a while but if you tighten with a bit of loctite it’ll be fine defo worth doing though
Cheers mate, that’s what I wanted to hear 👍 I’ll get one ordered.
@@jakedawson83 no worries mate, I’m changing mine soon got a proper shifter going in just something a bit different from the norm
@@6uiltdifferent Quality I’ll look forward to that one, got the latest gearbox video to watch tonight when I get in 🍻
@@jakedawson83 yeah won’t be for a couple of videos but you’ll see it soon 👌🏻
Be careful if you have a preface because it's different well mine is 😂
I had someone message me the other day and he had a preface lift and asked where the bush is haha so you’re correct
Nice mod but you fail to mention it's only for a facelift
I didn’t realise at the time that’s why
Bloody typical, i've got the other type of cable without the bushing on the end , just a push on socket like the other cable .lol. shame you cant just unscrew the white fitting off and swap it out.
Ahh always the way lol, Yeah you’d need a facelift shifter for it to work easy enough to swap over
Nice ….worries me man when I see u with tools / small fiddly jobs , always think ur gunna spill some claret 😂😂
Thanks mate and don’t I genuinely thought that it was going to happen when i was doing this 😂😂😂😂
@@6uiltdifferent
Well I didn’t see a Stanley knife / blade ..so I think that reduced the chances by at least 75% 😂😂
@@swiftyrs2354 literally I’m bloody dangerous with one of those 😂😂😂
