Foxbody Shifter Bushing

Hi all,

Just purchase a MGW short throw shifter. I plan on installing it soon, but figured I'd replace the shifter bushing while I'm at it. Has anyone bought a shifter bushing from Ford directly? If so do you have a part number? I've found part number (E3ZZ-7K453-A) at the local dealer. CJponyparts list this part as being a rubber construction while I thought OEM was plastic. Should I go ahead and pick this up or just buy the replacement from lmr?

Does that bushing just come out the top with the shifter removed? I’m trying to remember if that plastic bushing is what I replaced in my Dad’s Ranger when I replaced the leaking shifter gasket years ago and made it shift better. If so, it looks like a good upgrade when I do the rest of the console area upgrades.
