Yep, the site says the boogerbushings have free shipping. Been looking around, Howell charges 14 bucks to ship a little box of Prothanes. I'll just call mopar.
But they are only $21.50 shipped from Booger Racing.

Yep, that's why I'm calling [Edit: Modern Performance, not Mopar. Mopar is something else...must stop mixing crap up].

Howell is charging 21 PLUS fourteen. Scary stuff.

Edit: Called an hr ago, they should be in 4-5 business days.

Probably cost a hell of a lot less too. Was thinking of getting some Venier calipers to measure the outer and inner radius, but was concerned that the material of the bushing might come into play (heat issues?)

i ended up making a bushing for mine....i used the end of a MSD sparkplug wire(the part that clips on the coilpack)...i cut the end off before the 90 degree angle so it was just a straight hollow tube....then used 2 plastic valve stem caps.....shove one all the way in the tube, then cut the top off of the other so it was straight through.....then shoved it in the tube too....(they worked as spacers)....then wrapped it all in electrical tape.......shoved it in the cable end and then popped it on the fprward/backward gear end.....
not as good as a booger, or stock, but alot better then not having one there

I inherited my car without bushings, I suspect the damage is already done. We'll see.

are they difficult to replace? Haynes shows how to pry them off the select lever and shifter to replace cable. But does not mention replacing bushings.

Bushings are held into the "hole" on the cables by c-clips. Pop the clips, remove the bushings, put in new ones.

With boogers you just put them through the slot in the cable and pop them on. No clips.
