Man, Acuity recently made the ones for the 9th gen (13-17) Accord V6, but I cheaped out and got a random knockoff set on eBay. The bigger bushing wouldn’t fit, and would snag both the o-rings on the way in. And then after fiddling with the smaller bushing and having a similar issue, I gave up. The stock bushings look like they’re fine, but I did damage the bigger one a bit on it’s side, on the way out during the removal.

Our cable bushings replace the compliant OEM rubber bushings with much stiffer materials like Acetal and 6061-T6 Aluminum. A solid construction will make shifts feel more crisp and confidence inspiring. And with our kit, the large-diameter, custom spherical bearing on the larger bushing minimizes long-term wear and tear while eliminating the binding that is caused by most aftermarket solid shifter cable bushings. Looser fitting components also contribute to a poor shifting feel, so our design uses o-rings on the outside of each bushing to provide a perfect fit with OEM cables. If you have other questions or need more assistance don’t hesitate to email us at support@acuityinstruments.com 🙏. Since your accord is high mileage, you may benefit with a fresh set of cables as well (and our bushings will be easier to install while the new cables are out of the car as well).

The 1881 bushings (on the site, they're labeled as being for "many '07+ vehicles") will fit your 08 LX, just note there's no install guide specific to that chassis. That said, all installs are basically the same, so use the guide for the 8th gen si as a loose guide and just know there will be some small variations but the process will be similar.

Is it just 1st/2nd and everything else is fine? If so, I would inspect the area near the cables on the transmission and make sure no parts are blocking either cable's motion while attempting to enter 1st/2nd (best to inspect while someone else attempts to shift). If that doesn't resolve it, shoot us an email via our site, and we'll assist with troubleshooting. :)

Thanks for commenting 🙏. Please check out our pdf guides on our website for the full details on how to install our cable bushings to your Honda/Acura (we have more guides that show the install for specific applications there). The mounting pins that the bushings would slide onto are cylindrical, but the top of those mounting pins are slightly squared off. The oem bushings have a metal/plastic cap on the top of the bushing that matches that smaller square-ish shape to prevent users from installing the bushings upside down. If you were to pop off the caps from the oem bushings you’ll see the bushings have a hole that is circular and matches the diameter for the same hole on our cable bushings. Instead of those alignment caps, our bushings have anodized markings to indicate which side of the bushing is which, and the guides should clearly show how the bushings should look once installed. If you need any assistance with your specific install though, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via support@acuityinstruments.com. Have a nice day!

This video actually applies to the 9ths too. When it comes to removing the actual rubber bushings from the cables and installing our ACUITY bushings, those steps are identical across all Honda cable-shifting platforms. The main difference from one platform to another is mostly the parts that have to be removed to access the cables (like the airbox or battery). We have some PDF install guides for the 9th Gens on our website if you need them. :) ~Russ

These bushings are meant to make gear engagement feel more rigid, not to reduce play. That said, if you feel the play has increased, that is unusual and may indicate some other issue.

A little bit of play is normal in factory shift linkage systems, but it sounds like you may need to try swapping in a fresh shifter, or possibly replace your shifter cables to reduce the play you’re describing. Some of the play comes from wear/tear of plastic moving parts on the factory shifter and the rest comes from the compliance in the factory cables and the small gaps in between synchros inside the transmission. Replacing the factory shifter may be worth trying next, as those are typically cheap to find through local honda dealership parts stores and online auto parts stores 👍

Is it the side to side motion that seems to have excessive friction? If so, it sounds like that bushing may be installed in the cable backwards causing the cable to be in a bit of a bind. That, or period something is in the way of the cable, line an intake tube, etc. I would check to make sure the bushing is installed in the correction orientation, then look for possible obstructions.

@ACUiTYinstruments

We're not 100% sure what you mean by the "rubber sways up and down on the purple area", only because the bushings we sell do not contain rubber beyond the 2 o-rings on each bushing. Do you mean to say that the purple part slides on the pin on the transmission? If so, a little play up and down is normal. Play axially, along the pin does not translate into play in the shifter since it opposes the cable's direction of motion.

@@TheCapi246 Ahhh ok! So the purple part is spherical, as is the black acetal outer race that goes around it. They should be able to slide around each other, but there shouldn't be play between them. To be more specific...rotating is ok, but there shouldn't physically be a gap between the two parts. The spherical motion is required to let the cables move correctly (on the OEM bushings, the rubber just flexes, but the stiffer materials in our bushings won't flex like that, necessitating the spherical joint). The bushings do tend to wear in after some regular use and the spherical joint will move more freely. The rubber o-rings on the outside of the plastic race are actually used to compress the black outer race around the purple spherical ball which helps to take up wear over time. I hope that makes the reason for that spherical joint a bit more clear. :)

Tyler Lyssy this is Russ, one of the guys from Acuity. We put some detail about this in most guides, but it’s hard to fit something of this detail into a typical guide. This issue is actually more prevalent on older cars where the cables may be old and worn out already. I don’t believe we’ve actually had a reported case of damage to the cables during install ever. That’s not to say it can’t happen, but the good news is you’d feel it if there was an issue. On the 10th gens, the even gears would feel “mushy” if the cables were damaged. I think you should be fine from what you’ve said. ✌🏻~Russ

It's likely but we are unable to guarantee it. Unfortunately, that is a niche that we haven't been able to dive into much due to low demand. Our 1881 bushings fit the same year accords with 4-cylinder motors though. Make sure to note that we have 2 different bushing sku's, 1917 and 1881. 1917 will likely NOT fit, and 1881 may fit.

Are you referring to slop in the shifter? If your bushings are very worn out, then yes these bushings will help reduce that. When replacing newer bushings that are not as worn, the main difference you will feel is slightly reduced effort to go into the far left (1 & 2) and far right (5, 6 & R) gears, as well as a more solid and consistent gear engagement feel during hard shifts. ~Russ

These may help, but it's likely a small amount of play will remain. The transmission, cables, and shifter all contribute some play. Some of it can be improved with upgraded bushings, cables, and/or shifter, but there is some that will naturally remain in the transmission. Generally when we fully upgrade a vehicle and make sure none of the oem parts are severely worn, we can get the play down to around 1/16" each way at the knob, but bushings alone will not get you that far in most cases. ~russ

We've pulled countless OEM rubber bushings out of cables using little more than a firm grip over the bellows with one hand (to protect the linkage's pivot joint) and a phillips screwdriver in the other hand, with which we pry from the hole in the center. On very old linkages that have seen a lot of salt-related corrosion, removal can be a tad harder, but spraying the bushings with some silicone spray and letting them soak for a bit prior to removal can do wonders in those cases. :)
