    All 5-speed 90-94 Mazda 323's

    Details about the Urethane Bushings

    These are black graphite-impregnated urethane bushings which are made for Steve Charles who owns a shop in Baltimore called "FAZT Cars Import performance". He got them made from a bushing company somewhere in the area.

    These replace your stock rubber mounting bushings with urethane ones which stiffen the mounting of the shifter assembly. This helps increase shift-precision and firmer gear engagement. IOW the "gates" for each gear are more obvious when you move the lever around, you know exactly when you are going into gear instead of only guessing. I definitely noticed this with reverse. I knew if i was in it or not after installing these, instead of only guessing by letting up on the clutch (only to see that it wasn't all the way into gear :mad

    The bushings are mounted on the arm that holds your shifter assembly in place. Here is a illustration about where they go in the shifter assembly:





    Installation Instructions:

    I have a How-to For installing these bushings already online. Its quite easy, click this link to see more pics and get an idea how to install them yourself: http://projectmazda.com/host/bushings/

    Groupbuy Details:

    The price will be $20 shipped for the bushings and the center metal sleeve/tube thing that the bolt threads through.

    Since I take a hit when ppl send me Paypal payments, there WILL be a $1 surcharge if you decide to send me payment via Paypal.

    I am getting these bushings for $15 a set, it costs a little over $2 to ship these with the bubble mailers and I am donating $1 for each set sold to Probe Talk. I'm not looking to make much money, just enough to keep my website hosting fees from making me go bankrupt.


    Here are the links to the past groupbuys:

    Payment Details

    If you are going to pay via Paypal, please send $21 (I get $20.09 of it, close enough to 20, if you want to save 9 cents,, $20.91 will suffice) to: groharlem@hotmail.com

    If you are going to pay by money order or check PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I don't sell them to someone who paypals me money before your payment arrives. I won't post my address publicly, so email me at groharlem@hotmail.com or PM me for payment address.

    Shipping details

    I will ship via USPS First Class Mail. It costs about $1.10 in the US and $1.40 to Canada. If you want me to ship it Priority, send me $3.00 extra and I will ship it that way. If you want confirmation (gives a tracking number) with your First-class order, please send me an additional $.55 to cover this expense.

    I will ship them in Yellow bubble mailers.

    And again, if you are going to send a check or money order LET ME KNOW Either reply or AIM me at GroHarlem6 or email me at groharlem@hotmail.com

    Thank you all in advance!!
