So I installed a set of aluminum shifter bushings for the MR2. The fit perfectly onto my shifter base.
If you have the time, make sure to take out most of the plastics in the middle console. If you don't, get ready to get cuts like I did. The shifter is rock solid now, I'm even afraid I might break the shift rod haha, but it's so nice. Feels more connected. I'm still missing the second shifter cable bushing, and I can already feel a difference in shift feel. A must have for a couple of bucks and half an hour of your time. Here's a pic of the old ones. Couldn't snap a pic of the new ones installed cause they're barely visible once installed.

So these go to the base of the shifter assembly? Does the mount really move that much? I may have to try this.
