I can't handle this....

[Daddypleo]

Does anyone have any idea where I can find the correct bushing for my gear shift handle? I can get the correct cable but the end for the handle seems to not be available.
These are pictures of my shifter. All I need is the bushing that fits this hole and the pinch bushing that holds the cable in the shift housing.

Try your local NAPA store. Ask if they have an Oillite bushing assortment. Some Nut 'n Bolt vendors carry Oilite bushings.
Your local machine shop/backyard machinist is your next best friend.

Maybe cut yourself a section of PVC Pipe, Brass or Copper tubing(Ace Hardware) to make a bushing? Lots of ways to skin that cat!...Good Luck!

My Ace Hardware, in their loose nuts and bolts section actually has an assortment of oillite bushings, might check yours.
