Team,
I think your bushing must fit slightly tioghter in the housing seat. Might drops right in with no resistance at all when all fluid is cleaned.
I think I'll just drop the bushing in there, tehn put a couple dabs of RTV on the top surface of the bushing and the bushing seat. If I ever need to remove it, would be simple. Remove dab of RTV, and pull out.
Looks like I have the same problem darnellm had.

I kept thinking to myself....this works just like any other shifter bushing...I seriously can't be messing this up.
The MazdaMotorsports guys were baffled when I asked them if I needed to remove some material off the top.

Just a note for closer to my shifter bushing issue, I ended up putting a small bead of oil proof RTV around the top 2mm of the bushing, and dropped it into the housing. Let it cure 24 hours, then reassembled. Seems to be great now, and like teamrx8 said, a nice crisp feel. I would only do this if your bushing does not have sufficient interference with the housing.
