5-speed Manual transmission mount bushing replacement

I saw one how-to for the 6-speed manual but no instructions for the 5-speed manual transmission (and there's nothing in the Bentley manual for it, either). Is it the same basic procedure? Remove crossmember, pull the old one out, press a new one in?

You should add the 5spd SSK I just listed while you are at it!

I’m slow here. What does a short shift do? Easier to shift?

Shorter throw for shifts (for you, not the transmission) :thumbup:
