looking for a part for se-r

[dwlf89]

hello ol' reliable ones...

I need your help. I've been looking for the rubber mounting piece that goes at the very bottom of the manual shifter. It's on the underside of the car, but above the exhaust and heat shield. Honestly, I don't even know what to call the thing. Mine dry-rotted and broke in half so now the stick moves pretty freely up and down, not something I want happening. this is for a 1995 200sx se-r with 5 spd.

I can't get to it at any of the salvage yards because they always take the wheels off the cars and sit them on the brakes giving the body only a few inches of clearance above the ground. gay.

So is there anybody with any advise for me? specific stores, websites, part name or number, anything...

A picture would help.

it sounds like your shift linkage bushing (the rubber piece that supports the link from the shifter to the linkage) tell me if thats not it. But if it is you can get a heavy duty one from ebay.

I'll get under there tomorrow with some daylight and get a pic or two. we'll see if that helps - I can only imagine it will....

[dwlf89]

Ok, I got under there today and took a pic. hopefully this will help.

I believe I may have a brand new energy suspension one in my garage, I will check.

[dwlf89]

thank you for offering, it actually helped me find what I need. I went ahead and ordered one, it was really cheap so no big deal.

must have gave it away already, sorry. go here:http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/nis2.html

Its called a manual stabilizer bushing.

edit:

didn't see post above mine. what you ordered is exactly what you need.

[dwlf89]

Awesome. It'll be in within a week. Thank you for your help.

[dwlf89]

Alright, so the package came in today... and it wasn't right!

The part number and everything matched but it wasn't what I expected. part #7.1109R was what I got and what I ordered - but it didn't come with all that was pictured. All it came with was the 2 bushings, nothing else. Why do they picture all that stuff if it doesn't come with it? geez. this is getting annoying

check out the links and see if you think I got what I should have gotten.

[RED_DET]

all u should have gotten is the two round bushings and the metal rod.

[dwlf89]

No disrespect here, but how does that make sense? Do you see the broken part in my picture that I posted? I don't see how those 2 bushings can fix that.

[RED_DET]

The piece you ordered is for the section where the bolt is going through. I now see the piece that is broken and I would have to go look at my car because I can't even recall what goes there and I have taken my car apart many times. Looks like it a whole piece within itself with the bolts that holding it up.

[dwlf89]

yeah I figured since I have these bushings, I'll use them - no reason not to. But I've had no luck finding that other part. I'm glad we got this confusion worked out, I appreciate your help.

[RED_DET]

You actually need the stabilizer bracket and bushing. Energy suspension doesn't sell them. Just the bushing for the shifter. Seems alot of folks either make their own bracket using sway bar bushing and bracket. If you want something oem, you would have to contact nissan and tell them exactly what it is and give them your vin number. They should have it or can get it a couple days.

actually call this guy.. http://www.gspec.com/

Greg Vogel and tell him what you need, he will definitely be able to help.

[dwlf89]

that's the info I was looking for. I was kinda avoiding going to the dealership cuz they always overprice everything. I gave that guy an email, we'll see what they can do. thanks

[dwlf89]

alright so I got a reply. they can order me one and it'll cost ~$31. a little more than I wanted to pay but I say what the hell? I havn't had the best of luck finding this thing so i'll take advantage of the opportunity.

[dwlf89]

Alright, here's a little update. Greg at Gspec was very helpful. He recommended a part that's actually made for the suspension but it's a perfect fit. I can shift again. yay. So yeah I'll be doing business with gspec in the future. Thanks for the recommendation.

Glad you got it fixed, Greg V is the man when it comes to SR20 powered cars.

[dwlf89]

got that right! I've talked to him a few times now and gotten some other random parts I needed. I'd recommend him to anybody.
