After an intense and epic battle, the bushing won. I could not get the shifter bushing out for the life of me. I tried all the methods on Scoobymods. I even tried some other methods involving hammers and chisels and screwdrivers. Looks like there will be another person joining the install day =(
I have felt your pain. I destroyed the stock one to get it out. You pretty much have to cut it (and yourself numerous times..) I bled more getting that bushing out than other thing I have done. Good luck!
PM a mod if you need the Thread title changed to say Kartboy Bushings: 2 Me: 0, or if all goes well Kartboy Bushings: 1 Me: 1. Good Luck :sx:
I had no problem putting one on my wife's old 04 wrx. I can help you look at it at install day if you want. -- Brian
Hmm... Powerdrills work very well on this. IT'S OUT!!! Muahahahaha!! I completely destroyed the stock bushing to get it out. Got the new one in and it feels pretty good. Even better since the taste of victory sweetened it even more.
