SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS
If you're chasing a 2006 Civic shifter upgrade, start with the part everyone ignores: the cable bushings. Hybrid Racing shifter bushings clean up that vague factory feel and give you a crisp, mechanical shift without trashing your cables.
Most “upgrades” just throw solid metal or plastic in place of the stock rubber and call it a day. The problem? Honda uses rubber because the cable needs two degrees of freedom. A solid aluminum or Delrin insert only gives you one. Lose that extra movement and you get heavier shifts and a real chance of bending your shifter cables over time.
To fix that, this civic shifter bushing set uses a chrome-plated bushing Civic guys actually need: a chrome-plated steel spherical bearing shifter bushing at the cable. You still get the sharp, notchy feel you want from precision shifter bushings Civic drivers ask for, but with the proper movement so the cable isn’t fighting the hardware every time you row through the gears.
Each Honda Civic shifter bushing in this kit uses 6061 aluminum shifter bushings Civic owners can beat on daily. They’re a black anodized shifter bushing setup for anti-corrosion shifter bushings that hold up to salt, water, and track abuse. The housing carries a laser-etched Hybrid Racing logo, and we run these exact high-performance civic bushings on our own cars.
You get the full cable bushing combo civic hardware: spiral retaining rings to lock the bushings into the cables and stainless cotter pins to secure everything to the transmission. No digging through your parts bin.
BASE BUSHINGS
Pair the cable kit with our Civic Si shifter base bushing upgrade and you’ve knocked out the two biggest weak points in the stock assembly. The factory rubber at the base lets the whole shifter move around, which is why your car feels loose even after other Civic shifter mod parts.
These replacement base pieces lock the shifter bracket solidly to the chassis, so when you move the lever, the cables actually do what you tell them. Less flex, less slop, cleaner gates. As a full Civic Si shifting upgrade with the cable kit (SKU: HYB-BUN-01-32), you end up with a precise, repeatable shift you can actually trust at redline.
