2002 SC2 - Dorman shifter bushing - we have had a couple of these fail.....

Any recommendation for an upgraded replacement??

 

How long do they last?

 

Latest failure in a couple months.

We have multiple SC2s and an SL2. I have replaced a few.

 

I'm not sure, but I THINK a place called boogerbushings, maybe?? I know they make them for PT Cruisers. I'm pretty sure it's boogerracing.com.

 

Saturnbushingman on eBay. Stainless steel solution. well over a decade in both my sc2s. Will only fail if you don't apply the JB weld correctly. I've done that too.

Haven't tried his Teflon ones but I don't doubt their superiority to dorman crap. Tell him derf from saturnforum.com is now recommending his solutions to a whole other generation of Saturn s car owners.

No I don't get a kick back.
What I get is no more questions and what you get is a solution.

 

I used that bushing but I didn't trust the retaining ring to stay in place, so I glued it in with JB Weld. It's been going for about a year now with no issues so far. FWIW

To clarify, I glued the retaining ring in, not the bushing.
