Shifter Bushings [merged] ES symborski shifter plate metal urethane

kdrkmstp · 02-18-2003, 11:19 PM

Anybody have the rre's shifter bushing, I was wondering how that compared up to the symborski shifter bushing.

I love my RRE I have thrown the other kit as well..... I like em both

I have RRE. I've felt the symbroski's also. No difference

kdrkmstp · 02-19-2003, 01:58 PM

I read on the rre website that the symborski metal type makes a big metal clunky noise when shifting, is this true??? Would that be the only down point for symborski...

Not true at all, I've had both RRE (Energy Suspension) bushings and the Symborski kit (on now) and I don't notice a difference at all. The symborski comes with a little tube like metal piece that is suppose to help decrease play, but I didn't notice. I haven't heard the symborski making any clunking metal noise really, just the usual clunk of gears grinding when ya misshift.

Nice man, post that up ASAP.

I've got the Symborski kit, and love it. None of the clunking that RRE mentions.

There you go. Scroll down to the bottom. This is the best price i've seen and i spent maybe 30 min. searching different sites.

Heh, $7 for the bushings, $9 for shipping. Our gas must be much better these days, they're charging so much for it.

Mitsu_Racing · 03-06-2003, 02:32 PM

Damn they just raised there price to $15. They suck.

I've got the Symborski in my 97 GSX and absolutely love it. The metal "tube" that goes in place of the stock shifter pivot tube really does get rid of a bunch of the slop. Definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

HiPsiTsiMike · 03-10-2003, 12:27 PM

does anyone have this on their car?
i would just like to know if it made a noticeable differnence on the shifting on the car ...

I've got that kit in my Talon. It removed much of the sloppy feeling in the shifter, making the shifts feel more precise. Only downside is that you feel more vibrations in the shifter but it's really no big deal. If you want to improve your shift feel even more, get rid of that horsecock shift knob and get something shaped more like a 2G knob.

thanks....no more feed back on this topic i guess

rick · 03-11-2003, 11:53 AM

Please people, we need to start using the *SEARCH* button...there must be hundreds of posts about the Symbrowski kit on Talk and here on Tooners.

Nope. I just did a search on "Symbrowski" and yours was the only post that showed up. You might have better luck if you do a search on "Symborski"

I was looking at the shifter bushings from RRE, and was just wondering what people think about them. Do they worth buying or should I get them from somewhere else?
Thanks.

Dieselboy · 06-05-2003, 03:15 PM

Absolutely. I dunno how much the RRE ones are, but MachV sells the Symborski kit for $30.

madeagle · 06-05-2003, 03:30 PM

The RRE are about $15, but I like how symborsky looks better, I really dout that it makes any difference. What kind do you have, and how you like them?

K Dan · 06-05-2003, 08:03 PM

I have the RRE ones, made a huge difference, shifts so much better. Only problem is theyre a little noiser then the stock rubber ones but oh well.

madeagle · 06-07-2003, 02:27 PM

K Dan, do you know what material they are made of?
