Shifter slop

[brickdaddy]

Hello, i have a 260/5 out of an 88 325i im using to do my 5sp swap. It has quite a bit of slop in the shifter. It seems to be from where the selector rod meets the rod going into the transmission. It looks like there's a bushing missing, but when i looked it up on realoem, all it shows is 2 black o-rings and a plastic washer. Im wondering if theres an aftermarket bushing i can buy or if anyone is familiar w this problem and knows a solution? TIA

You're right.
Probably just put in a washer to take up the slack on both ends.
There's bushings from IE but it won't take up the slack.
