Did a search but didn't find anything...

I thought I saw a post on here once about roller bearing underhood shifter bushings.
Anyone heard of these or know where to get them?
I've seen the brass ones, anyone have or like these?
Does the Symbroski kit make much of difference?
These Mitsu-trannys are no where near as smooth as the NewVentureT350.

'98 GS(In case ^ Breaks)Weird, the GS broke before the 4G did, F'n headgasket.

Ive got the brass ones, the ball bearing ones do the same thing, All theyre doing is taking up the "slop" that the rubber bushings have.

Honestly I didnt notice much difference, But I guess if it helps a little bit its worth the $25

Just in case anyone ever searches this topic:
The roller bearing inserts to replace the underhood shifter bushings are regular old skate bearings...Any skate shop has them for >$10.

Removing the old ones is easily done with a screw-driver, your finger, or push them against the linkage shafts. (One of mine was torn)
Clean up the inside of the end-links and the shafts with some fine sand paper or steel wool.
Grease the inside of the end-links, shafts, and the outside of the skate bearings. (Use something thick like wheel bearing grease)
Use a c-clamp to press them in flush.

Paired with the Symborski kit, the shifter is extremely solid ...Thinking of going with the polyurethane shifter base bushings instead.
