EP3 Type R

Not sure about the bushes, but a lot of EP3 owners go for MTEC shifter springs. They're roughly $50, supposed to reduce slop and make shifting more direct. I'm going to be putting some in pretty soon, even though I have no problems with the sloppy stock shifter

There's definitely nothing wrong with the stock shifter, I'm just wandering if any worth while improvements exist.

I'll report back with my thoughts on mtec race springs

The shifter base bushings makes shifting feel really direct, almost like that bolt rifle action haha. It takes out that mushy feel when you shift. The shifter cable bushings imo didn't make much of a difference; however I did find those billet shifter cable bushings tend to seize and have some resistance when shifting, i didn't like it at all. I recommend going with delrin material or hybrid racing/tegiwa's cable billet bushings with the ball bearings in it.

As for the mtec race springs, all i noticed was that it takes more effort to shift into reverse. Especially if your shifter looks like a chode with a countersunk gear knob lol

I would recommend the tegiwa short shifter adapter, along with the shifter base and cable bushings and mtec springs. All that really tightens up the shifting and is defs worth it. Especially for those who get lots of 2nd and 3rd gear grinds.
