What it concludes

A polyurethane bushing is much harder than a rubber bushing and provides more direct and crisp shifts.
Using Honda manual transmission fluid with synchro additives provides better shifting performance than standard motor oil.
Replacing worn bushings, shift linkage brackets, and the shifter assembly significantly reduces shift play from 3 inches down to less than an inch.
Applying rust encapsulator paint with epoxy blocks oxygen from reaching the metal and prevents future rust formation.
