shifter cable bushings ?

[peanotation]

i got the urethane shifter plate bushings from RRE and they're great, but what's the general idea with shifter cable bushings? do i want metal or urethane ones? are there any good brands of them out there? ebay has a whole slew of them, but so many look so sketchy.

Ya what he said. Jon & Ming from TRE told me to use the rollerblade bearings after my tranny was rebuilt.

Rollerblade bearings.

you can get a set of 8 (or 16 maybe) for around $10... unless you have a skateboard or old inline skates laying around like I did

Go with the cheapest sealed ones. They're only going to be shifting, not bearing the thousands of psi of a rollerblade wheel going over sidewalk expansion joints. They'll fail from a lack of rotation (no lubricant distribution) in about two-hundred years.
