The stock rubber bushings work fine to get
your EVO off the show room floor. But what happens 3-5 years later and
the rubber starts depleting and your shifting suffers from this cheap
material? We have a fix for this little issue and it will take about a
half hour for install! This is a 2pc bushing kit that replaces the 2
stock rubber bushings on the shifter cables under the hood of your
Evolution VIII. This is a full kit for your EVO8 with 2 bushings, clips,
sandpaper, and detailed directions.
1.) Remove the negative
and positive connectors from the battery, loosen the 2 battery hold down
bolts, and remove the battery. To remove the tray, remove the 2 bolts
and nuts, and the 10mm bolts that secures the solenoid to the back of
the tray. The tray should lift right out, giving you better access to
the shift cables.
2.) To remove the cable
ends, first pull the cotter clip and washer if fitted. You should then
be able to slide the cable end with the stock rubber bushings off the
pin. You can pull the cables out of thier mounts if needed to get the
end off the pin. Use the included emery cloth to clean the pin of any
rust or junk that would prevent the new bushing from sliding freely on
the pin
3.) To remove the old
rubber bushings from the cable end, push one side of the rubber with a
screwdriver and it should pop right out! Slide the new brass bushing in
as shown and secure with an E-clip. The side with the clip should face
out (or up). The key is to not get the bushing cocked as you are
installing it into the cable end. To install the clip, you can tap it in
with a small hammer or squeeze it in with pliers.
4.) It is a good idea to
lube the pin a bit with anti-seize or MP grease. Install the cable with
new bushing onto the pin, making sure that you have removed any washers
that were on the pin. The cable will need no washers, just put the
cotter clip back in and enjoy the sharper shifting in your Lancer EVO
