G50 problem - please help...

So yesterday I did my first high perf. driving clinic and my car just kicked a$s. It performed flawlessly and I had a blast. But on just about the last lap, I was double-clutching into 2nd and could not find it! I got it, but had lost some revs by then. When I got back to the paddock I noticed my shifter was VERY sloppy and loose. Driving home, I had to shift very carefully and deliberately - almost as if I had a 915!

Before I get flamed, I did do a search on this. What happened to me was not some gradual wear, but rather an immediate break or failure of something. I didn't see a G50 shifter bushing kit in the Pelican catalogue. But it really feels like that's my problem. What do I need to buy, where can I get it and how tough is the install? I saw the Excellence article on this a while ago, but again, mine just happened very suddenly. So I don't think I just need to refresh it. Thanks.
