Is the tangerine racing firewall shift rod bearing worth it as a 'while I'm in there'?

not a bad idea, but I have refreshed a few side shift setups and not touched the firewall bush. everything but. Shifting is positive with very little/no side to side movement with the gear lever

@notlance

Hey Lance! Glad to see you're still on the road, and that your current issue has nothing to do with the engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

Sounds like a "rebuild" of the shifter may also be in order. I'll put in this post a couple of threads that, if you haven't already found them, will likely be informative. These are all the ones I've collected over the years when taking on shifting related tasks. There are also helpful links in these threads.

I haven't done the Tangerine firewall bushing, but seems like the consensus is overwhelmingly positive. You can, of course, get carried away with "while I'm there" type tasks. When last I replaced the bushings I just went with the ones that came in the kit I got from AA and didn't go any further. Your choice as to how far you want to go.
