As Jonny mentioned in his vendor thread, I will be the new supplier for the illustrious JonnyMopar Solid Shifter Cradle Bushings.
If you're not sure what these are, on a 2000-2005 5-speed Neon, the whole shifter assembly is bolted to the floor with 4 rubber grommets, so it's got a little bit of play. Even when you do a short throw shifter or Boogers, or both, that overall give is still there. The bushings that I've made will eliminate that last bit of play and all you'll have left is the small bit that is in the cables (which is unavoidable). You don't even have to take the shifter out of the car to replace these bushings. All you'll need to do is unbolt it.
The Bushings
Installed
I am also offering the bushings for the Hurst shifter. These are longer than the standard size and are used to lift the shifter base off of the floor. The Hurst shifter comes with a poly bushing that still has play in it. These will completely remove the play. You will still need to use the washer that comes with the Hurst shifter to clamp the shifter base down.
I do not have a picture of these, but hopefully someone will send me a pic of them installed.
Inventory
Current Inventory: 0
My goal is to maintain at least some inventory. I'll probably make up 10 sets at a time to minimize shipping time. If you send in an order and I am out of stock, I will send an email/PM with an estimate of when I will be able to make more.
Pricing
$15 per set including shipping to the continental USA and Canada (if you are in Europe, HI, AK or somewhere else in the world, please send me a PM for a price).
$30 per set including shipping for the Hurst bushings to the continental USA and Canada (again if you are elsewhere in the world please PM me for a price). This style will not be stocked due the low demand. If you would like these, send me a PM and I will let you know when I'll be able to make them.
I am also offering the ability to donate to your favorite forum with the purchase of these bushings. If you send $20 ($35 for the Hurst bushings) for a set of these bushings $8 will be donated to directly to 2GN.org.
Payment
I accept:
cash (in person)
check (item won't ship until cleared)
money order
paypal (racer12306 (at) gmail (dot) com)
PM for the address to send a check or MO.

FTWNeon on JonnyMopar Bushings with a Maddog 72% wrote:These things work great! They removed so much slop in the shifter. I still have some as I still havn't gotten any boogers yet but it still feels so much better. It's alot more enjoyable doing a hard 1-2 shift. I love them!
Edits
3/14/2011: These will now be called JM Shifter Cradle Bushings. I want to keep their heritage but differentiate the ones that I'm making from the ones that Jonny made. They are virtually the exact same parts. I only made a couple of very minor changes.
4/5/2011: Price changed to $15 shipped
7/30/2011: Added info on the Hurst style bushings.
