These are the small rubber bushings in the shift linkage that keep the shifter aligned with the transmission, and on a 20-plus-year-old B-series car they're cooked. Energy Suspension's polyurethane set replaces that mushy factory rubber and takes the slop out of the linkage, so the shifter goes where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the B-series part, fitment covers the 90-01 Integra (DC2, DB8) across RS, LS, GS, GS-R, and Type R, plus the 99-00 Civic Si (EM1), the 84-87 Civic and CRX, and the 94-97 Del Sol VTEC. Anything with a B-series engine and a 5-speed manual. The factory rubber bushings flex by design to soak up vibration, and that flex is exactly what wears them out and lets your shifts get sloppy. Polyurethane doesn't break down the same way, so once these are in, the linkage stays tight for the life of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get out of it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe payoff is a crisper, more consistent shift. Worn rubber lets the shifter wander, which is how you end up fishing for third or grinding into second. With the slop gone, the gate feels tighter and you hit the gear you're aiming for every time. The set includes metal grommets that act as a built-in stop so you don't crush the bushings when you torque the linkage back together. It's a cheap fix that punches well above its price on shift feel, which is why it's one of the first things B-series owners do to a tired drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.1101R (red), 16.1101G (black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-piece set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB-series (B16, B17, B18)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes metal grommets, reuse factory shifter hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 year \/ 750,000 mile, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-161101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.1101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-161101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.1101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed and black are the same polyurethane at the same hardness.

This is the B-series bushing. If your car has a D-series engine (most non-Si SOHC Civics, CRX HF and DX, and similar), you need Energy's 16.1102 D-series set instead, not this one. Getting the right one comes down to your engine, not just your chassis, so confirm B-series before you order. Manual transmission only, there's nothing here for an automatic car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the honest tradeoff. Polyurethane is firmer than rubber, and rubber's flex is part of how the factory isolates the shifter from engine and drivetrain vibration. Swap in poly and you'll feel more of that buzz come through the shifter, especially at idle and high RPM. That's the deal with every poly shifter bushing, and for most people chasing a tighter shift it's a fair trade. If you want a buttery-isolated stock feel, this isn't it. If you want the shifter to feel connected and precise, this is exactly it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird, install. It's a straightforward job that doesn't need a press, you're swapping small bushings in the linkage and reusing your factory hardware. Like any poly bushing, grease the contact points on install so they stay quiet, a dry poly bushing is what squeaks. Use the included metal grommets so you don't over-torque and crush the new bushings. Plan for a bit of basic linkage disassembly and you're done in an afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1990-1993 Acura Integra \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1994-2001 Acura Integra \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1984-1987 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1999-2000 Honda Civic Si\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1996-2000 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Energy Suspension","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45853485957154,"sku":"ENS-161101G","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red","offer_id":45853485989922,"sku":"ENS-161101R","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/29341968.JPG?v=1782509468","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/energy-suspension-b-series-shifter-stabilizer-bushings","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
