Lower Shifter Bushings!!
I just installed my B&M this weekend and the one part of the instructions I didn't get was where it told me to remove the lower shift bushings from under the car. The picture in the instructions was pretty much the only one that was too fuzzy/blurry to make out! On top of that, I came here to look at the pictures, but they were all down, even the ones that were linked to in previous posts!
(bang)
When I did get everything apart, I found that the bushings did not need to be removed or reinstalled from under the car. This was way easier to do from above. Anyway, here's a picture of those lower shifter bushings and the before and after pictures of the shifter. That's a Voodoo Pearl knob in the after shot. The last shot shows the stock lever next to the B&M. The B&M is overall just a bit shorter, but the fulcrum point is much higher than on the stock lever, so the throw is shorter and the lever is lower to the console.
It's great by the way. Feels almost as good as the stock Miata shifter!(nana) That's not a jab, BTW. As a Miata lover, there's no higher compliment I could pay to a gearbox!

Actually the lower shift bushings aren't located on the shifter at all. I had the same silly predicament when I installed mine. The bushings are actually located on the OPPOSITE end of the shaft that connects to the shifter. Towards the front of the car. I'll try and remember to take a decent pic while I'm changing my oil later tonight.Foolish said:

I didn't install after market bushings. I'm actually talking about the little bushings shown in my first picture above. The B&M instructions refer to them as the "lower shifter bushings" but it's impossible to identify them in the picture.
