Hello dc5‘ers
Welcome to my guide on installing the bushes from the group buy. It‘s pretty straight forward. The hardest part I think is removing the old plastic bush with minimal swearing
Here‘s what you should have in your package
If you do not have all these items then contact me via pm
Tools list
14mm spanner
Long nose pliers
Flat blade screwdriver
1. Start buy removing your gear knob, if you still have oem on you will have a locking nut, remove this with the 14mm spanner, mine is aftermarket but I still fitted a new Honda locking nut
Loosen my turning the nut clockwise then unscrew the gear knob anti clockwise followed by the locking nut
Sorry no pics of this
2. Get your flat blade screwdriver and look for the little cut out in the plastic cover where the 12v output is
Pry this out so the top right corner comes out
Now pull the left top out
Now with some wiggling pull the bottom out in one go, don‘t pull too hard because you need to unplug the 12v, this just pulls off
3. Now get the top right hand corner where the cup holders are, pull that up and then the left
Once that part is up, work your way around pulling the rest of that trim off. It goes around the gear stick
4. Now we have access to the shifter and cables. Start by removing the split pins where each cable is
You can see my bush in 30 pieces here lol this is why it was so bad
5. Let‘s start on the left cable where the plastic arm is, push/pull out the pin holding the cable in to place
Pull the cable upwards out of the arm, now you can see the white plastic bush
Twist the round bush inside 90 degrees, use a screwdriver if you need to, the round parts should be sticking out each side of the bush. Then push it out
This bit was a pain, I had to break it out using a screwdriver and breaking it bit by bit until i could get it out, just take your time
Now push in the bigger bush out the 3, it‘s a good fit but will go in. Fit it on the right hand side
Now get the pin you removed and clean it up to get any bits or dirt from it, these are a tight fit and I used my long nose pliers to push it in, make note that it only goes in like this with the flat edges at the sides
Now for your new R clip, these are much better than the split pins
6. Now on to the second cable, remove the washer and pull the cable off the pin, this was the bush that was no existent on mine so I can‘t comment on how it comes out
Grab your 2 left over washers and turn them over like this, you can see one has a small recess. You need to fit this one first, remember to clean your pin up too
These are tight on the pin again so use your pliers to pull them on
Now fit your cable, or fit your 2nd bush into the cable on push it on to the pin, again use your pliers if you need too
Fit your new R clip and your done, take a look at how much the bushes have reduced the play and then refit your plastics
Go for a drive and enjoy what it should have felt like from factory
Any questions drop me a pm or message on facebook
