Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
I have one but the stock bushings are a little small for them.
I have sent a email to Pacesetter, dont expect a reply till Monday atleast. But till than, has anyone with this STS found other methods for bushings?

Have you ever tried to fit the stock bushings with the Pacesetter adjustable STS?Mooneggs wrote:I am using bronzoil bushings with both of my pacesetter adjustable short throw shifters
Im worried. I dont want to buy bronzoil bushings from Corksports and end up finding out that they are still too small.
Did you notice that the bottom part of the STS has a slightly bigger radius than the stock shifter?
Oh yeah, I just got a email from them. Those a--holes dont have bushings for the MX3 STS.

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
now that I think about it... hmm it's been a while since I've been under there to look... so I'm not sure exactly...
I THOUGHT I was using bronzoil bushings... it will be next weekend before I can investigate lol if I feel like jacking the car up
sorry for the misinformation until I can confirm!

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
I just installed mine and I didn't notice a size difference between bronze bushings and stock bushings - both fit fine in my cheapie ebay STS and my stock shifter.

Are you sure you got the right shifter from the company?

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
I forgot who i boought it from but I think I bought it for... maybe $30. It came with no bushings. It was about 1.5 years ago.onlytrueromeo wrote:Are you sure you got the right shifter from the company?
Here are some pics
I think the best thing for me to do. Is make that radius smaller. As ghetto as this sounds. I been thinking of using electrical tape to make the radius small enough to where the stock bushings fit in tightly.

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
thats a pretty big differnce. i bet romeo's right and you have a shifter from a different model. i would rather use a stock shifter than a ghetto rigged one that wasn't meant for my car

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
Yeah either go back to stock for now and argue with the company, or argue with the company and buy a cheapie ebay short shifter. 20$ on ebay is what I got, and it works great (well feels great since I havn't driven the car yet)

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
electrical tape will break down quickly with the amount of friction the bushings take and soon you would have a wobbly shifter in the linkage... I would vote NO on this ideaJuans_93_MX3 wrote:[I think the best thing for me to do. Is make that radius smaller. As ghetto as this sounds.

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
the thing is I've used shifters out of MX-6's, 626's and even Protege's and they were all the same so I can't figure what that shifter would be for. Could be that it's supposed to come with its own bushings and you didn't get tehm when you bought it.
I would email Pacesetter again and clarify if they don't sell the bushigns separately or if the shifter is suposed to use the stock ones and it does not require different bushings. If they say it doesn't require different bushings then you have the wrong shifter. If they're only available to be purchased with the shifter then you will have to fight with them to get them to sell you or give you some.

Re: Anyone else have a Pacesetter short throw shifter?
hey man, know what you mean, how funny yesterday i also started to mount the shortshifter but afer 5 minutes i ran across exactly the same problem with the bushings, at first i thought that i might be the bronze oil, but after removed the stock shifter i saw that they fit 100% in the stock but has a couple of mms of space across.
so i got me a 22mm copper waterpipe, i have sawn of a small section of tube, this fitted brilliantly then the bushings and then in the car.
look it up, just get a small tube or something with a thin sidewall
