NST shifter linkage bushings... - Toyota Yaris Forums

...A MUST for only $25. Combined with the NST short shifter, these bushings make the shifting in this car incredible. Smooth and precise are 2 adjectives that came to mind. The bushings that I am referring to are the rubber inserts that pushing into the linkage arms atop the transmission. Taking your time and being careful...installation should take no more than 50 minutes and the bushings are cheap. Great mod.

can this help minimizing gear grinds?

I actually have a set of the linkage bushings and the in-cabin short shift kit. They make the shift feel absolutely amazing. I remember when I got the Yaris a few months ago, the shift threw felt like I was shifting an older Ford Ranger :)

Ha...ha. Yes, the shifting did feel like a Ford Ranger....or an S-10 for that matter. Long and sloppy....
