I’m sure the base shifter bushings are quality enough, but how’s the difference/ improvement. 1 being Can’t Hardly Tell/ Appreciate, 5 being Top Notch Night and Day.
the shifter base bushings really shouldn't be judged apart from the transmission cable bracket bushings. to answer your question: a solid 1 for me on feel alone. but paired with a short shift kit and the transmission cable bracket bushings? i'd say a 3 or 4. all that said, i'd still recommend the shifter base bushing upgrade because it's really straightforward and helps you to get to know your car without risking breaking anything that will keep you from driving your car. if you want to feel safe, buy a bunch of the the plastic white tabs. that's really the only thing that can break in the process.
i'm told if i upgrade the transmission oil that is *significant* compared to the bushings/short shifter combo. i'll find out myself later this spring.
Past few days I installed new coilovers, rims and tires, boomba short shifter, boomba shifter base bushings, 2j racing cowl intake, esp downpipe and a new stage 2 tune from Dizzy.
Next up will be a new reverse lockout, New grimspeed knob and a new leather shift boot from redline goods.
Not "to" my Fiesta, but sorta "for" my Fiesta...I signed up for a welding class at a local trade school. Always wanted to learn and see if I have the knack for it. If I enjoy it I plan to make a custom exhaust for my car but not until next winter.

I'd rate the difference/improvement at a 1. Mayyyybe a 1.5? I have the Whoosh shifter cable bracket bushings and the Whoosh short shift adapter that are going on this weekend.
Finally had a chance to work on my car again. put my passenger side and transmission mounts on. I was getting some really bad vibrating doing 50 in 6th gear if I gave any gas. That vibrating is mostly gone now. I'm also getting less torque steer. I still need to do my drivers side motor mount.
I was thinking about offering up my old Boomba mount for sale but the bushing has started to separate from the insert and has some play in it. I think that was part of the contributing factor to the vibrating I was experiencing.

I have the cpe passenger and rear mounts, too. When I installed the passenger mount, the NVH increased significantly (compared to the PowerFlex pineapple that was in there previously). Is your experience the same? Curious whether adding the driver side mount makes it better or worse, so looking forward to your update.

I've wondered just what is the actual, experienced NVH difference between the CP-E and the Vibra-Technics passenger side mounts, regardless of the durometer difference between the two.

My stock mount was bad as was the boomba mount so I was getting an insane amount of vibrating before I installed the CPE mounts. I still get some vibrating but it has significantly decreased since I opted for the 55A over the 75A mounts.
