I bought the bronze version of this bushing from Pelican some time ago and found that the fit of the shift rod was not much tighter than the plastic bushing commonly available. I went to a local hobby shop and bought a section of brass tubing with an inside diameter approximately the same as the ouside diameter of the shift rod. I cut a section the length of the bronze bushing, inserted it into the bushing and soldered it in place. Cleaned it up with a file and sandpaper. Now the shift rod has a snug fit in the sleeved bronze busing. By the way, the bronze bushing is retained in the tranny console position using a c-clip.
