SRD bronzoil shifter bushings come in a set of four; two for the shifter and two for the other end of the transmission linkage (at the transmission.)<p>They do not fit the Pacesetter shifter. You can, however, use the bushings that go on the transmission side of the linkage.<p>The Pacesetter does come with new bushings. They are a harder material than stock.

The bushings that come with the pacesetter are CRAP. You'll end up with a shifter that has lots of left/right play. Its irritating and I haven't found a way to fix it. Otherwise the pacesetter is a good shifter.

I have it as well as my friend Paul. We both seem to like it. My friend mark who has the B&M is going to get the pacesetter because its has a more adjustable throw than the B&M which cannot be adjusted.

I set mine almost as low as it goes.. seems to shift smoother that way. (as opposed to all the way down.)

Installation couldnt have been any easier. You can put it as low as you want but I put mine like 3/4 of the lowest and its damn short.
