Greetings all,

So i just got my evo 9 and while we were building the engine finishing the car i noticed that it has a 6 speed shifter cables installed on a 5 speed trans swap.

And unfortunately the 5 speed shifter cable is discontinued.

Would be any other was to fix this problem?

so now my shifter cables has 2 small bushings, which should have been 1 big and 1 small for the 5 speed.

I saw that the evo x later models has similar cables bushing but anyone can confirm if it works on the evo 8 trans?


Thanks

Mrgoozo

I'm not aware of any cables other than the factory cables that work with the 5 speed. I'm in the process of developing an aftermarket replacement set of cables for guys doing 5 speed swaps but it will be another month or two until I've completed the design.

Thats wonderful!

I dont mind waiting to be honest as i dont have any other option at this moment.

I hope you can keep us updated on that.

I am looking for a new set for 5spd with the bushings.

Still sorting things out with cable suppliers. Hoping to have it kicked off in the Spring.

Now I'm abit lost.

I ordered these 5 speed shifter cables but both have the small end/bushes. But the part number on the packaging is for 5spd.

My current one has 1 big and 1 small.

Now having spent 500odd AUD and shipping, customs etc. Can I use these cables or will it be a problem ?

Did you end up using those cables? I am about to order them. Please let me know. Thanks

VeebeeIX

I have installed them as yet, but I did ask a few shops and they say it can be used.
I might only them on this weekend if i get time.

krys88

Ok please let me know after you install it. I think you will need to use 2 small bushings instead of 1 big 1 small, if I am correct

VeebeeIX

Yes they do have the oem rubber bushings on , but i do have aluminum bushings to go on, both small.

I had some of these on order recently but ended up cancelling it. I had seen a review where someone said that it didn't fit usdm evo so I backed out on it. Guess we'll see if Veebeel can give us confirmation whenever he tries.
