Is there a nylon or rubber washer that goes on top of this bushing ?
But if you where, going to
, making one on a mill is to much work and you'd need a rotary table, if I had my shop I'd have my son turn a bunch on his turret lathe
do it on a manual machine, wouldn't you turn it,

This look like it'll work? If so I'll get a few of these made up. Please send me some pics of where these go and why they should be replaced. It'll help me sell more than four

I'd make them out of Rulan

Bridgeport lathe but yeah
Why? Just because it's a self lubricating plastic? Could go oil impregnated sintered bronze then. But if mild steel is seeing wear then using plastics isn't the answer.
I'd use beryllium, just saying
That s*** is crazy expensive but incredibly light. I was contracted with RED digital cinema after they bought my company. One of my tasks was to remove one pound from a four pound Epic Dragon camera. Beryllium was experimented with but the cost was astronomical. Instead I opted for anodized aluminum and LOTS of carbon fiber. Was able to shave off 1.1 pounds and it was renamed the Epic Carbon Dragon. The camera was then used on all the POV shots for the Game of Thrones dragon scenes.

I may be getting my elements mixed up, but there was a place here in Tucson that made beryllium parts. Evidently it was just a giant cancer closet. They had to do all sorts of crazy filtration and whatnot and still had problems.
When I'd drive by the place going to the airport I'd hold my breath.

It's only toxic to machine. It's fine otherwise.
I can't find a good picture but they go in the holes where the shift lever secures to.
Very cool. Yes, beryllium is incredibly light and strong. And, if untouched it will literally last forever. Toxicity... uh.m, about that.I may be getting my elements mixed up, but there was a place here in Tucson that made beryllium parts. Evidently it was just a giant cancer closet.

Ok I'd rather the bushing wear out than the shifting arm, oh wait that's a good idea
, Ok Nylatron (SP?)
Any of THESE work?
@NLXTACY will any of the above work ? And if so which material is preferred ?
@BILT4ME thank you for tanking the time to find and post those.

Anyone ?
Woops sorry. Busy day. I don't see an ideal size on the page. Any of those would require further machining to get either the O.D. Correct for the major or the minor OR get the I.D. Correct.
Ok so I'm still in a stalemate..
