Questions & Answers
Manual transmissions are available for the Dodge Dart, Fiat 500, 500L, 500C, and 500x. It's a simple device that simply clips into the round cable end after the old bush is removed. It has a ball joint socket that simply pushes into place. I see the Mini Cooper Manual Transmission listed in the advertisement, so it's probably worth a shot if that's the part you're looking for. Remove the old rubber bush with care because you want it to fit snugly.
Selected User Reviews For BushingFix NA1Kit Manual Transmission Shift Cable Bushing Repair Kit - Compatible with Fiat 500 non-abarth and Mini Coopers
The smaller of the shift cable boots ripped a little while I was replacing the engine in my R53 mini cooper. I thought I was going to get a new shift cable. This came up as a possibility, and it turned out to be a fantastic solution. It was the perfect fit.
When I called the dealership's parts department, they assured me that the replacement bushings would be delivered in two days. To get the new bushings, I drove for over an hour. The wrong bushings were installed by the dealership (i. e. the "experts"). The clutch bushings were in their possession. The parts diagram was pulled up by Part Tech, and they don't sell replacement bushings; you have to order the entire linkage. For the set, the dealer wanted almost $400! I discovered bushingfix. br>br> I immediately dialed com. I needed to get my Cooper back on the road as soon as possible, so I inquired about overnight shipping and double-checked that I had the correct part number; their customer service provided me with the correct part number and advised that my best bet would be to order from Amazon, as the part was $10 cheaper than on bushingfix. com and the part could arrive sooner. br>br>Part arrived in two days, was a PERFECT fit, and took only about 10 minutes to install! Even if I have to replace these bushings five times, the total cost of the linkage is still less. But I won't have to, because these bushings are made of a durable material that will last for a long time!.
Instead of replacing the entire shift cable, the bushing kit is an excellent idea. The NA1kit, on the other hand, is not compatible. For this application, the small orange bushing is insufficient. To make it work on a pre-facelift Mini Cooper, you'll need to use the FM1kit kit.
In my first-generation Mini Cooper, this part was used. It was a little difficult to install because the remnants of the old bushings had to be removed. My hazy shifter problem was solved admirably.
The problem was resolved with the help of this product. It only took 15 minutes to set up and now it works like new. Thank you for making this item available.
br>This is a lot better than having to replace the entire cable. in addition to being less costly.
Reverse and fifth gear were restored after a two-day repair that took only twenty minutes. I'm not sure why there was an extra bushing in the package.
