GE8 cable bushings

Does anyone make bronze cable shifter bushings for the GE8? I have seen lots for GD, but none for the GE8. Or do the ones for the GD work with the GE8?

Thanks,

Not sure. This subforum doesn't get as much activity, but I bet someone knows. I can take a picture of mine if you still have your stock airbox in, and need to take a look at the assembly. There's a chance they could be the same.

Torque Solution (manufacturer of the ones I installed) says they are the same.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will try the Torque Solution ones. I miss the feel of a rod linkage, the cables just feel so.... blah. It seems the bushings help give a more direct feel.

Thanks again.

I'd hope for that, but the stock bushings were very hard and the whole thing seemed tight when I checked it. I'd like a heavier spring on the return mechanism though so it doesn't wiggle in neutral. That product is out there for the 8th gen civic people, but that is either in development, or had someone on here test the waters with but didn't gain traction.
