SHIFTER BUSHINGS

The Hybrid Racing shifter cable bushings are a simple, cost-effective way to improve Civic shifting and get that tight, mechanical feel you want from the shifter. Not all 16-23 Civic shifter bushings are the same, and this is where most “solid” kits get it wrong. Honda uses rubber in the factory civic shifter cable bushings because the joint needs 2 degrees of freedom. A generic aluminum shifter bushing civic or Delrin insert usually locks that down to 1 degree of freedom.

When you take away that extra movement, you don’t just add effort at the knob—you risk stressing and eventually bending or ruining your shifter cables. That’s why every Hybrid Racing cable bushing uses a chrome-plated spherical bearing shifter bushing instead of a fixed sleeve. This chrome-plated bearing bushing gives you that crisp, notchy feel you expect from Hybrid Racing shifter bushings without the heavy, “binding” shift effort you get from typical solid kits. We run this same hybrid racing cable bushing setup on our own cars, so if it wrecked cables, we’d know by now.

Each Hybrid Racing civic mt shifter bushings kit (SKU: HYB-BUN-01-38) includes spiral retaining rings to lock the bushings into the cables and stainless cotter pins to secure the cables to the transmission. The bushings are constructed from 6061 aluminum, use a black anodized shifter bushing finish for corrosion resistance, and are completed with a laser-etched logo. If you’re chasing more precise, repeatable shifts, this honda civic bushing kit is where you start.

BASE BUSHINGS

Hybrid Racing shifter base bushing civic kits replace the soft factory rubber pieces that let the whole assembly move around when you shift. Swapping to our Hybrid Racing civic bushings locks the shifter base down, which sharpens the gates and reduces slop at the knob. Pair these with our Hybrid Racing shifter bushings and you’ll seriously improve civic shifting feel and precision in every gear change. It’s a straightforward shifter cable bushing upgrade that makes your car feel like it should’ve from the factory.
