1G Dudes Custom Parts shifter bushings

[Turbski91]

Having issues installing Dudes Custom Parts shifter bushings in my 91 shifter assembly. I ordered the 91-94 kit on his website, but the bushings for the forward/backward seem to be too small? Am I missing something?

The guy who makes them is on here
I think it’s gsx dude or dude gsx

I believe i was sent a 90 model kit instead of a 91+ kit even though i ordered a 91 model. Does anyone on here know the sure fire way to contact him? I don’t mind waiting for another kit. I see he has not been active on here in quite some time. Maybe i can make a deal with him to send this kit to someone in the US that needs one??

Someone mentioned in a different tuners thread about his store that he's on facebook. I don't know the username but if you find that thread there will be several people who do know it.

He only includes pictures. The bushing number in the kit corresponds to which OEM bushing position/place to replace. Remove the shifter from the car, disassemble it, and reassemble. It's almost like Legos.

Right that’s what i figured, but if that’s the case then the bushings i received are too small.

Ever thought about these? It's what I use. Shifters feel like new when done.

* If you’ve got solid bushings for the base and cables and still feel like you’re missing that solid feel when you shift, this product is for you. This replaces that worn-out stock (rubber) stopper with a solid (plastic) stopper giving you a nice solid stopping point. Making shifts feel more...

Claim for the guy who sold you the wrong bushings ?

That’s unfortunate. Really wish he had better customer service.

any news?

Im still waiting. Order Jan 26th and nothing. I sent a message other day through his website and havnt gotten anything yet. If i dont get something soon i guess ill file claim through paypal which sucks. Really wanted this kit

 

[TrackRacerPro]

Going on 4 months now. No response, after multiple attempts to contact him.
F/R sub frame bushings & rear diff bushings. $430.00 The waiting time is bad enough, but I got sick of the no response BS. I'm trying to get my $$$ back through PayPal now. I would consider looking for alternatives. I was under the impression the wait time was 3 to 5 weeks.

Funny, when I ordered these bushings he replied within minutes when taking my funds and stated "we'll get right on this order." Too bad. It looks like quality German engineering/machining.

I had bought Torque Solution bushings and returned them when I found out that a fellow DSMer was making these. I didn't read about all the long wait times and no response crap. My bad!

 

[DreamChaser7]

Man this sucks. I think it took 2-3 months to get my bushing kit. I was fine waiting, but ghosting people is no good.

 

[Turbski91]

any news?

He has not replied to any of my messages through his parts website, Instagram, or his personal Facebook account. I also see he has not been active on here in months. Pretty crazy to run a business like that. I’m going to open a PayPal claim soon.

Yup took that long for my kit too. I didn’t even mind waiting for the parts, but waiting that long for the parts, and then they’re not even close to the correct size? That’s crazy.

 

[DreamChaser7]

I hope mine are the right size! Lol

I would check them sooner than later. You only have so long until you can open a claim.
