Resolved Shifter Bushings, 2ga vs. 2gb

[BLACK'98DSM]

Would the shifter bushings be different for a 2ga and 2gb? Or would they be the same? I was looking at these on Amazon but it says they fit a 1995. I have a 1998. As far as I know it's the same stuff, correct me if I'm wrong.

No link. What bushings do you mean, cable, shifter itself, or shifter base bushings?

Those are for the cables, but idk if the 420a uses the same ones. I would assume yes, but that's a good way to waste money generally.

These are made by Torque Solutions. Here's their website description. They do not mention is these fit turbo or N/A. I would contact them to make sure.

The other, dirt cheap option, is to go to your local skate shop and get a box of cheap skateboard truck bearings. Take out the old bushing and use a c-clamp and socket to press the skate bearing in. I just did this for my laser, and my talon has had skate bearings in it since I built it.

They're about $8 for a box of 8, more if you want the spendy bearings, which aren't needed.

I have some of those in my garage actually. But I wanted to go with rubber to reduce vibration and I don't want a super stiff shifter.

For what it's worth, my talons shifter doesn't really transfer vibrations that I can feel and everything in it is solid. Doesn't stiffen them either

It more-so makes the shifter precise and less sloppy, takes the play out of it. One of my favorite mods/fixes. Now I just need to grease the cables someday.

I think I can give it a try, I'm sure it won't hurt anything. If I don't like it then I'm sure I can find what I need.
Thanks

Mine are solid and don't transfer vibrations. I would go with the bearings

Bushings are the same for 95-99. I purchased and installed the ones advertised for 95. They fit and function well.
