so say i want to pick up this:
KB-003-5COMB - FRONT/REAR COMBO 5-SPEED ($ 60.00)
from kartoys website would this cover my BC chassis? or do i need to do some sort of conversion? Thanks for the help

I just used the OEM ones from Subaru and they worked great. Only cost me $30 something too.

ordered them up and got them put in this weekend, much better feel though i didnt realize these were the stay bushings. so its much tighter easier to get from gear to gear but the stil still has a fair amount of play. Is there any way to replace the bushings on the linkage arm connecting to the what do you call the linkage thing that goes to the tranny? also my centering spring is long gone, im gonna have to go by the dealer sometime soon

Can someone post up pics of the MT linkage bushings and the centering spring? (on the car...not on a table) Please.
I will need to do all the above on my 91 BJ and would love to have some knowledge going in.
Does kartboy make bushings for the 91 BJ without any conversions?
