shift cable bushings upgrade help....

[boosted 96 eclipse]

So the bushings in my shift cable under the hood are bad like really bad bad enough to where if it want for the c-clip half of the rubber would stay on the shaft and the cable would come off. Now that you guys know how bad they are haha... I need some help. I was looking at the stiff under hood shift kit from dsmparts.com but than i read on one of these dsm forums that you can use roller blade bearings or skateboard bearings. I have no idea which would be better and if it's bearings than i have no idea what size i would need. I don't have a skateboard/roller blade shop here in Cheyenne Wyoming that i know about anyways. All help would be great.

I went to the local skating ring and they let me pick through their used bearings bucket then just gave them to me....FREEBIE!! Can't beat that. C clamp and BAM! New stiffer bushing for free!

Does anyone make replacement bushing for where the cable meets the shifter?

I have aluminum bushings on my tranny and at my shifter. Got them off eBay. 12 for the tranny, 20 for the shifter. LOVE THEM! They tighten up play and they'll last forever. And if not ill never go back to rubber bushings, I'm hooked.
