I went and ordered some Energy Shifter bushings off ebay. There's 3
bushings total. I hope they aren't too hard to change. I've never
changed bushings in a shifter before, although I had to replace a
linkage cable on my 92 accord once.

Do i need to pound these suckers into place, or should they just slip
right in?
