Been thinking about buying one for a while, would love to know why they changed it (cost, function, shortage)?

Function would mean removing a bushing when getting old stock from a dealer.
Cost would mean I would ask for an extra bushing.
Supply shortage would mean for me to think even longer until it gets better.

Edit: I can think of a fourth possibility, installation error with the center bushing and resulting customer complaints (=> I would ask for an extra bushing.)

After installing and testing it trans mounted, i honestly cant imagine it feeling much different with 3 bushings but i wouldnt know unfortunately. I can say its unbelievably better and surprisingly quiet. Quieter than my old solid billet shifter body mount. And the shifts click into place so satisfyingly. Reverse is really tough to get into though, at my current seating position its kind of awkward, im sure itll break in and soften a tad over time. Looks damn good too.
