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

I use them on almost every car in the shop. I feel like they do help improve the shifting but only marginally. Another benefit is they won't deteriorate as quickly. I've seen shift bushings go bad/warp/elongate/etc. after only a few years in service.
