Subaru Sambar Solid Shift Bushing Set Front & Rear KS4/KS3/KV4/KV3/TT1/TT2/TV1/TV2
Subaru Sambar Solid Shift Bushing Set Front & Rear KS4/KS3/KV4/KV3/TT1/TT2/TV1/TV2
After the 25+ years our trucks and vans take to get to us in the US, the rubber bushings are likely already deteriorating. I created a custom option to replace your rear shift linkage bushings for more solid and precise shifts. The stock shift bushings are soft rubber which can create slop in the shifter, these solid shift bushings will help reduce that slop.
I started with the self-lubricating sintered bronze bushings to slide smoothly over the rear shift linkage shaft. Then I created ASA plastic sleeves to press these bushings into which hold two nitrile rubber O-rings for some compliance.
Kit includes:
- Rear upper and lower shift bushing housings.
- 2X Sintered bronze bushings
- 4X Nitrile rubber O-rings
- Driver and passenger side TPU (Flexible Plastic) front shifter bushings.
Important Note:
Please make sure to order the correct bushings for your vehicle. The early models had a smaller bottom bushing than the top bushing. The later models have the same size top and bottom bushing.
I am unsure of the exact date they changed from the smaller lower bushing to the same size as the upper bushing. If your truck/van is a 1993 please check the lower shift bushing size on your vehicle before ordering.
I recommend installing with PTFE grease, Super Lube is my preferred lubrication.
The rear shift bushings will fit the KS4, KS3, KV4, KV3, TT1, TT2, TV1, TV2 Subaru Sambars.

Perfect fit for my Subaru sambar 1997. And fast shipping I leave in Puerto Rico.
Loved the idea. But it didn't seem to fit my 94 sambar
Cannot believe the different feeling I have now with the new bushings, I should have done this a while ago. Product fit great! Highly recommend
Perfect!!!!
I got a couple of sets of the Sambar shift bushings so I can replace them in my KS3 and KV4. The KS is 27 years old, but it’s only got just over 34,000km on it. Even with that, the shifter linkage has a little slop in it. From what I saw in A-A-Ron’s video of the bushing(s) install, this is going to tighten that right up!
Easy to order, great shipping. Will definitely be purchasing stuff from him again!
