You can get replacements for the bushings. If one is bad already, I'd recommend upgrading both of them. You can either use skateboard wheel bearings or buy ones (these are the ones I have - http://www.speed-source.net/products/shifter_cable.htm). You do not need new cables.

Here's one thread on the bushings - http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124083&highlight=shifter+cable+bushings

Just search for shifter bushings and look through them (includes threads about the shifter base bushings near the shifter itself...also a great upgrade).

Get shift bushings, either aluminum, urethane, or bearings and a shift kit.

You might also need to adjust your shift cable http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html.

You made a good decision getting the Symborski kit...I could never drive another DSM without one!!!

No, I won't be able to make the E-town Shootout.

You might check my diy/ tech write up on the heim joint cable end at the shifter. I think it also helps as the bushings at the trans did.

Throw in a short shifter too if you dont already have one!!

I think the symborski shift kit is overrated. my bushings weren't bad to begin with but I had to see what they hype is all about. it was loud and made the shifter clunky. I prefer the stock or urethane. it shifts smoother than the symborski does.

That is really odd. I've never heard of someone upgrading them and not liking it. Especially the noise - that's something I've never heard. Well, at least you know for next time.
