I am replacing my shift coupler bushings.

I purchased a white delrin set and they were way too sloppy and a poor fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Next up is a set of urethane and they fit much tighter but the pin still floats around in the holes which appear to be oval shaped? Not sure if I would like that play due to the pin floating in the oval shaped holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I saw a set of solid brass bushings, these look interesting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Has any one used them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Are the pivot holes supposed to be oval shaped with slop around the pivot pin? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Any brand better than others? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

There seems to be a lot of manufacturers out there and the prices go from $12 bucks to $40.00 for the brass ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
