Thanks guys. Yeah, I've got a 3 spd manual. I'll try to give Cal-Classics, DC and NPD a call today and pick their brains. I'll let ya'll know what I found out.

OK. According to the guys at Carolina Classics, you can't buy that separately. They said that it doesn't have a separate part number and that when you buy a shift tube, it comes on it as part of the shift tube. So, if your bushing wears out, you gotta buy a new shift tube. Interesting. I have trouble accepting that. It's a character flaw of mine. :D I'm gonna keep digging.

they do that on purpose so that you have to buy the new shift tube. they figure they can make more money selling the whole tube than they can sellign just that little part.however since the part comes with the shift tube someone is making the part. the hard part is finding it for sale any place.
