The Pros of this upgrade are well worth it.. the throttle responce is increased greatly and it reduced my wheel hop to nothing... Great improvement and I recommend this to anyone and everyone

Part number for the Auto Bushings (larger bushing is 65mm) is SPF2706K
and for the 5 speed bushing kit call

i like this piston sitting in your engine..

guess i can ask here since the other thread is 5 pages..i was not planning on doing this mod but since it is cheap, easy and needs support i may

couple questions

what exactly do you get for how much..2 bushings for about 50 bux?

i read the whole other thread and i am a bit confused

i see a two bushing package and a package that comes w/ more for 100+

can someone specify?

also i have no upgrades to the engine at all cept a k+n drop in..still worth doing?

nice.. finally someone noticed the piston.. ahah there are a few funny pics in there... The dogbone setup is like 53.xx for the bushing kit.. there are also some others.. if I were you I would call up Glenn and Global performance and ask him for the dogbone kit.. he will get you the right one

So far all I read was that this was for the Automatic tranny's. Will this work for the V6 manual also?

Hey how would I press out the stock bushings by hand? Seems pretty stuck in there.

What benefits are these for just daily driving? I know no more wheel hop for racing and all but would it stop the engine completely from shaking when Im driving normally? I think I need these and that Torque Rod thing...
