shifter rejuvenation -- repost per mod req
Just bought 'em from Mazda dealer (Kramer Mazda in Calgary). The bushings (4) were $3.44 CDN each (about $2.25 US).
Mazda part number B001-46-062
The dealer had 'em in stock, by the way.
I also replaced the boot at the bottom of the shifter (change lever, Mazda calls it) that keeps all the road gunge out of the pivot. P/N was GJ25-46-090 cost $5.40 CDN.
I also replaced the bolts that go through the bushings (they're different, front one a little longer) but both cost $3.07 CDN P/Ns B001-46-134 and B001-46-133.
The "other" rod that runs parallel to the shifter (change control rod, Mazda calls it) has a rubber bushing at the front end where it fits over a stud in the transaxle. Bushing is GJ21-46-041 and costs $4.24 CDN.
This should be replaced as well as it keeps your shifter positioned the correct distance from engine/transaxle.
All those parts (4 plastic bushings, 1 rubber boot, 1 rubber bushing and 2 bolts) came 2 a total of $29.54 CDN -- around $20 US.
If you're doing any hard shifting, you might wanna invest that kind of time and money -- could save you a lot more time and money in replacing synchros later
Toughest part of the job is getting all the console stuff out of the way in the interior.
