CRW has dialed in what they feel is absolutely the best shifter cable bushings for the MR2 (this design was originally from Phoenix Power).

HOW you ask.... well: the OEM shifter cables do not move in a true linear fashion. When you install the brass bushings or roller skate bearings the natural twist of the cable as it is going through the range of motion is lost. the natural twist is dealt with on the OEM bushings in the rubber material they use which allows the flex in a non linear way... as it should be.

The advantages of these shifter bushings are:
1) proper shift cable articulation
2) advantage of having a bearing to reduce wear on moving parts
3) no rubber to wear out
4) no metal to wear out
5) 100% positive shift engagement

CRW spherical shifter bushing kit includes: spherical shifter bushings, washers and retaining clips.

CRW shifter bushing kit fits: all Mk1,all Mk2 NA and TURBO, MK3 and many other FWD toyotas (corolla, celica + all-trac, camry, tercel, matrix, scion TC, etc.) **these do not fit the 93-99 celica, 94+ camry or solara**

there are 2 styles of these bushing kits:
CRW standard spherical shifter bushing or bushings with a PTFE lined spherical bearing -- PTFE is a teflon lubricated liner inside the spherical bearing --

What our customers say...

WHY DID I LET THESE SIT ON THE BENCH FOR 2 MONTHS? One of the best and cheapest upgrades I've made. Way better than the brass bushings. Huge improvement in shift quality. I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I put in a brand new tranny and my shifting was better but still stiff and rough going into 1st. With these bushings it literally shifts like an arcade game - no resistance at all. I did wind up turning some spacers .510 diameter by .100 thick and installed them on either side of the bushing to space the bushing off the shift arm and make a nice tight fit with the retaining pin as I've read that they can rattle a bit. Not necessary but I have been known to be a bit anal. Once again Twos R Us to the rescue.

This little piece of hardware make really a noticable difference. I would highly recommend this. I brought the PTFE one.

Extremely easy install. Comes with literally everything needed. Little bits of sand paper for the stubborn rusted cable ends. Mine were bad but a little sanding and done. 20 minutes and they were in. Nice solid shifts now compared to factory busted rubber bushings. THANKS!!

Really easy to install these bearings in the ends of your shifter cables. They make shifting so much nicer, especially if your stock bushings are totally ovalized like mine were. Note: The washers in this kit are necessary to keep the bushings from popping out of the end of the cable and they rattle ALL the time and it will drive you insane if you put theses in you dd. I suggest buying a small spring to keep the washers under pressure so they don't move about.
