You can go to your local Ace Hardware and get nice new steel bushings to fit in all the joints in the whole linkage. You may have to do a little simple fabricating, but nothing to complex. It's worth it. I rebuilt my column shift, and I would not even consider a floor shift with a 3 speed now. I can shift QUICK as a blink and never miss a gear. A column shifter is quick, short, and very positive when it is set up correctly. It's worth the labor to do it.
