Has anyone tried the Brass Shift Rod Bushings available from Pelican? Are they worth the money or are they snake oil?

I went with a new nylon bushing for the firewall. If you cut the bushing wall at 45 degrees or so you can slip it over the the shift rod & push it into the firewall without having to disconnect the rod. The 45 degrees cut angle helps to keep out the crap & gives the thing less of a DAPO look. FYI. Whatever.

How hard is it with the rod installed? |
