Mazda Shift Bushing / Shifter Bushing 

Genuine Mazda Replacement Part – OE Part Number: R503-17-492
The Mazda shift bushing R503-17-492 is a genuine replacement part for the shift mechanism and provides precise guidance and support for the gear lever. The bushing is located around the gear lever ball and is an important component of the shifting mechanism.

The bushing guides and stabilizes the gear lever within the shift mechanism. As the bushing wears, excessive play, an imprecise shifting feel or a loose gear lever can occur. Replacing the bushing can help restore the original precision and direct shifting feel.

The R503-17-492 is used, among others, on Mazda MX-5/Miata models and is included in various genuine and OEM-based shift mechanism rebuild kits. During a rebuild, it is commonly replaced together with other components such as the upper shift bushing, wave washers and the shift shaft end bushing.
