One of the best things I ever installed in my old neon was poly shift bushings. Are there any available for the 3g accord? Where can I get some cheap?

nobody makes them specifically for the accord, but the bushings for 84-87 civic/crx's swap right in. They are made by Energy Suspension. I believe they cost $15-20 just about anywhere that sells Energy Suspension stuff

so the bushings fit in where the tranny connects to the linkage? and replacing them with better bushings would make the shifting feel a little tighter?

Here is a link to the black (they also have red) poly shifter bushings for an 87 civic. After I put in my adjustable shortshifter I found that the rubber stablizer bushings were so worn out that the shifter linkage rod and the stabilizer bar vibrate against eachother, I hope these fix my problem. I also ordered front sway bar bushings (that bolt to the frame) and an accel super coil at summit. Now I just need to buy a fuel filter, rotor, cap, and some plug new wires and hopefully the car will run right once again.
