It's not on my website, you'll need to order it
I would say yes, if the transmission is manual.
My website indicates that this part won't work on your Dart. This is because Amazon is saying it will not fit your car because I don't have a Dart listed as a fitment. You can test it and hopefully it will work, but I can't guarantee it. Returning the part is always an option if it doesn't fit is possible. Bushings for the automatic Fiat and Dart cars share a common bushing bushing, so it is likely that these will fit even though I have not tried it yet.
For reinstalling the bushing onto the transmission shift lever, I used a C clamp. In my case, I used one that had a 3 " gap, but a smaller one could be used instead. With a vise, I had to wrench the bushing into the ferrule, which requires substantial force to seat into the fitting after removal.

This is a great alternative. My transmission bushing broke 3 years ago, and I had to buy the whole linkage from the dealership to get the part. I ended up using a pair of needle nose vise-grips to get behind the old bushing and pull Installation of the new bushing was straightforward. Once you clean out the old cable end, you simply press the new one in using a vice. As a last resort, I "pounded" the new bushing onto the transmission with a 1x1 wood post.
They quoted close to $250 for the part. I did not inquire about labor costs. It cost about $30 to ship the BushingFix. About an hour of work was required to fix the issue The repair is not as simple as it seems, but it is very doable. The linkage can be found right behind the battery once the battery has been removed. There are tight quarters, and it can be.
The seller delivered what he promised. It was a bit of a pain to squeeze them in, but if they had been easy to get in, they would not be as solid!.
If you are replacing bushings, make sure the old ring is entirely cleaned out!.
As a result, shifting is back to normal and the bushing worked perfectly. There is a 2012 Fiat Abarth 500 on the market. It is a good book to read.
It fits well and the shift linkage is a single piece and this, in my opinion, makes it more comfortable.
From the factory, these should be the bushings that fit the shifter linkage.
