From my investigation looking at how the dynamics of the shifter works there is some play coming from the "#21, #22" bushings on mine. now the question is the play due to wear on these bushings or normal variable.

I have ordered 1k0 711 067 and 1k0 711 067A. I wish someone made solid billet versions of these... ...though I suppose if I replace EVERYTHING else with billet (as planned) then something has to dampen the diesel clatter!

Did this part swap today. Shifts are a lot more precise than they were before, even with the 42dd bushings already installed. Gear selection got all messed up for some reason so I just readjusted the shifter cable end links per this very good DIY video
I bought this but I have no idea how to take out the old one. I tried removing the 2 torx screws that holds down the plate on top of the bushing but it doesn't come out that way it seems.
Can someone please advise me on how to take out the old bushing?
Thanks.

Put it in neutral, remove shifter boot, pop hood, disconnect both shifter cables (remove clip and slide cable ends off the pins) go back in car remove the two torx screws from reverse lockout plate, pull up on shifter assembly and pry off old bushing with a small flat head screw driver, grease new bushing then reassemble.
PS: you have to disconnect the shifter cables in the engine bay to have the wiggle room to pull the shifter assembly up and get more access to the bushing.

Only noticed a little difference but it's still worth it. I ended up cutting about an inch off my shifter from stock height ..it feels much better now All i need is the diesel geek ss now.
