I replaced the shift rod coupling bushings some time ago after the originals had literally disintegrated (pieces of brittle black plasic were falling out). The results were great. This was after I had replaced all of the other plastic bushings and installed the weltmeister spring lockout kit in an attempt to improve the shift feel. If you haven't replaced them, chances are no one else has either! If you haven't done so already, I recommend that all of the bushings, including those for the shift coupler, be replaced. The improvement is worth the effort.
