Default Squeeky shifter?

I just threw in a B&M short shifter in my car and it squeeks?
i've done a couple of these and this is a first time thing.

I lubed up the shaf tthat goes into the tranny and i lubed up where the ball of the shifter is in that rubber boot, but something is DEF squeeking...


any clues?


thanx guys

did you replace the o-rings on the stock bearing you're supposed to reuse? if not, go to honda, replace those, and lube it up with some white lithium grease, and don't be afraid, too much is never enough when it comes to this.

Stock bearing?
There wasn't a bearing on my old shifter if it's what I'm thinking.
the new shifter came with 2 rubber rings to hold it centered in place.


the rubber piece that holds the shifter in place where the ball of the shifter is, is where the noise is coming from.
also where the shaft goes into the tranny there's a squeeking

omg dude, you have to reuse the stock bearing!!!! it's there, it just slides out of the old shifter, replace the o-rings, and you're good to go. the b&m requires the reuse of the stock bearing, shifters like skunk2 (which i have) come with their own sealed bearing in which you do not reude the stock unit, if you don't have one, get one, that's the only way the b&m will work.

ok, I bought the Shifter used from someone and he sold it to me right outa the car, and the bearing he had was still in it.
so I think I'll just get a new bearing and o rings.

thanx!
