New shifter bushing?

[Whitestone]

Hi all. Thanks again for all the help on previous threads. I’ve read various solutions to the sloppy shifter.

I do not want a short through - just want to tighten things up a bit. Should I go plastic or do the upgrade to metal? What are your experiences? Want to keep it basically stock but a little better.

I have the brass/bronze shifter bushing in my car. I can't tell a difference from stock. I have not removed the shifter in some time to see if there is any abnormal wear to the bushinng

IIRC there is a rubber block between the shifter base and the handle. See if you can take off the block and attach the handle directly to the shifter, I had the stock handle bolted to my Pro5.0 shifter and didn't like it. Using an old Hurst handle with the stock knob.

I also swapped to the brass, and couldn't tell the difference.

Theres also these, they help. (Gets rid of the stock rubber block) I've used them on a few cars over the years. I'm using them now with a stock handle and Hurst base, (although I've never ran a stock shifter base)
