🔴 Red Energy Suspension Transmission Shifter Stabilizer 16.1102R Review

I noticed these bushings earlier while browsing the automotive department. So when I got a '99 Civic with an annoyingly loose shifter, I looked under the car and figured it would be an easy job. It was easy, but not easy - removing the half-rusted bolts under the car and installing bushings on the gearbox side was no picnic. But I would say the end result was worth it; Parts are inexpensive and the derailleur feels better than new.

Super Cool Jacks. Luckily my '98 coupe was very clean and rust free so they got in with no problems. Climbing under the car on jack stands is inconvenient, but it took less than 10 minutes. It cost $12, probably the best $12 you could ever spend on a manual-transmission Honda. The shifts went from a popsicle in a custard cup to (which could have been) a one-gate shifter. Never skipped downshifts after this was installed and it also made it a lot easier to engage reverse.

Civic Ex 5 Speed 99 picked up and wow! Terrible number of games. I took them to replace the original 20 year old OEM bushings and the difference they made was amazing. It seems that instead of bushings I installed a short shifter. Installation was easy, I didn't remove the exhaust like some do, but my hands are small. All fasteners are reused except for the metal pin in the round bushing closest to the gearbox. A larger pin was added due to the larger hole in the power socket.
