OVERVIEW
Restore precise shifting action on your Sportster with these American-made replacement shifter shaft bushings from Jim's. Designed as a direct substitute for OE part #40520-63, this kit replaces worn or fatigued bushings to eliminate sloppy engagement and restore factory feel. Manufactured in the United States and sold in a convenient pack of two, these hardware components are built for lasting durability and reliable operation during routine maintenance.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
These replacement bushings address mechanical wear within the shifter assembly, allowing for crisp positive gear changes without lever slack. Constructed to meet established manufacturing standards domestically, they provide superior longevity compared to fatigue-prone stock components. The precise geometry ensures smooth rotational movement of the shift shaft, reducing operator effort and preventing premature wear on adjacent linkage parts. Each application includes a full set to guarantee consistent performance across the mechanism.
