How long does replacing the original shifter with new shifter and bushings?

Is there a set time for replacing your shifter? I've got almost 80000kms on my civic.....is it a good time?

No, there is no set time for replacing your shifter OR your bushings. New OE bushings on a car with high city mileage will improve the accuracy and feel of the shifter.

Most people change to polyeurethane bushings for a more solid, direct feeling shifter mechanism and a "short shifter" in order to reduce the length of the shift throw (or travel) between consecutive gears.

Looking to buy a Short Shifter... I've searched and I can't seem to find a place to tell me what the difference is between the dual and single bend designs.... Does the dual bend sit closer to the driver? Also the B&M model with the pivot bearing... what is the difference in feel compared to just the regular one?
