Just joined today. I'm looking for some parts for my 1990 Miata.
I need a small shift boot and a shifter bushing set. No problem finding the boot shift boot, but can't find the bushings. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

I just bought that part for my 99 from here.
I am fairly convenced that POS has every photo from every angle of every miata part...lol
Glad to meet you!
WOW! POS Racing!
Thank you very much for all the info and the great photo showing the shifter "inards". The little bushing on the bottom of the shifter is broken on mine. The parts list is an enormous help, now I"ll be able to identify what I need by name & number, KEWLL. Thanks a million.

How HIGH!
:salut: welcome
Welcome! There are some *cough* other *cough* POS photos running around here. . .
Thank you blackzx3, you should do something about that cough! LOL
Peace
Thank you Randy, Love that garnet. Nice ride. Now my wife is going to kill me for drewling on her keyboard.
Peace
Hello. Make sure you get all the old bushing out of the turret.
Thank you black roadster,
As a matter of fact, the small bushing at the very end of the shifter is stuck in the well. I can feel it with my finger, but can't get it out. I know it has a crack in it, as I've had it out once before and had to reuse it to drive my car till I get a new set.
Peace
Well I guess that's one place for an 'ol Hippie to hide his crack! :rolleyes:Quote:

Oh and welcome.
Thanks everyone for the welcomes, and tips. I checked out the bull section and I can honestly say that this forum is much more fun than the other Miata forum I was in.
Peace
welcome!

welcome............and how old do you have to be to be an old hippie? I think I qualify.
Hey VFR750,
I think you have to be well north of 50 or a little south of 60!

High JUXT3R,
Is that electric koolaid as in Jimi Hendrix or the other stuff as in Jim Jones?
I'll take the former and pass on the latter! LOL!
Peace,
TOH
Since I'm over 60, does that make me an old beatnik. I did spend some time listen to poetry in coffee houses. And I did know Maynard G. Krebs, well maybe just someone just like him. Remember, the "G" stood for Walter.
