EBay shifter bushings+Craven SSK

I figured that since the Ebay shifters only go for 20 bucks I would buy one and use them in conjunction with the Craven SSK so I could have a more precise feel. I think it would be firmer but I would like to hear everyoine .02 so thanks for the wisdom in advance.

What do you mean by buying the ebay shifter, and using it WITH the Craven SSK? Isn't the craven an entire new shifter, shift ****, and pivot?

Craven Speed does not provide aluminum shifter housing bushings. Chad is proposing that bushings can be obtained on the cheap in eBay shift kits.

I haven't had a lot of requests for bushings. If anyone would be interested in some, PM me (in the interest of not threadjacking this thing). If I get enough requests then we could make up a batch or two.

Always let me know if there is something you need, sometimes we can make it happen.

A stronger reverse lockout spring?? I've gotten used to it, but it's still easy to hit R if you're overenthusiastic...

Who's got those aluminum shift well covers? Those are sexy. Do they fit a stock shifter?

I was also wondering about those eBay shift deals, sounds like Craven is a good choice too.
