Shifter Bushings....
I just got a shortened C6Z shifter from a member on here. I now need to replace the ball bushing and possibly the box bushings after conducting a bit of research. (Going in a 2001 C5 Coupe, 148K) Is there a vendor that sells all 5 bushings? Or do I just need to order the ball bushing. Any suggestions on what specific bushing I should run?
I search with out finding my exact answer.

If your missing the ball bushing (black thing on the shift rod ball),, your in trouble.. GM or no one for that matter sells it by its self.... You either need an entire new shifter or one off a used shifter.
They don't sell the shifter housing bushings either. You either make some or bolt it down solid with washers. The ZO6 Box you see in the picture is mine and the ZO6 comes with solid bushings.

IIRC, the cups are available from a guy here near Houston, on E-Bay. Enter "corvette shifter bushing" in Parts and Accessories.
The 4-piece polyurethane bushing kits are available from Zip Products.

WOW! 
Great info. I will need to put this to a FAVORITE POST FILE!
The guy selling them should make a LOT of cash!
Anyone the has a lot of mils on their MN6 cars, they should check the shifter mount bushings and make sure that they are not soft or torn. If they are degraded, it will adversly effect shifting.
