Have you tried Porsche yet? These are common on 944s as well.

I would check with Ed (www.thecouplingwhisperer.com) Sure you can get cheaper parts. How long do want to wait until you have to do it again? I just purchased shift lever bushings for my 924 from Ed last night. He already emailed and is shipping them today. Now, I paid $35 total, but they are made from the Delrin polymer and not plastic crap. I definitely don't want to keep changing them. I checked around and even if I bought the plastic ones, the shipping made it more than the polymers.

Pelican sells plastic. I would want durability/quality personally.

think I have two of these if you need them, let me check...
either that or I would suggest converting to an audi style linkage while you have the trans out, there's a how to done by ideola, and i've also done this mod using a slightly different.
I left the original bend at the shift end and have had no clearance issues, it also makes a nice adjustable short shifter design if you use a threaded bolt at the universal end. PM me if you want more details on this

Rock, those bushes are hardly loaded. When I inspected mine (30 years old) they were fine. Are we talking about the same part, the four tiny guys at the lever?

Also, if you are referring to the rears, they are the same as 914 and come in poly from Weltmeister.

bummer stu, I already ordered from pelican. I had to add oil filters and the like to justify the freight

Hopefully you might have some reverse gears for me though???
