Yep. That's my next project. I'm thinking really hard about replacing the shift tube, bushings, shift lever, and pin for the shift lever, simply because I don't know for 100% what will be worn when I drop the column. I definitely don't want to drop it and find something other than the bushings worn.

I replaced the bushings in mine but it has some sort of other problem. For now I just deal with it but the shifter is sloppy and doesn't feel like it settles into its 'notch' when any of the positions are selected, like there are grooves full of dirt and debris or something. And one other oddity, if aiming for D and it goes a hair towards 2 it will drop out of OD on me, I can't, for the life of me, figure that one out. Tickle it back up towards D and right back into OD.
