Ah yes, the metal shifter bushings from B&M. When I was at a local speed shop, they showed me those and the poly ones from Energy Suspension ones. I thought it was kinda bizarre to have metal shifter bushings?!?!?!?!?
If there is buzzing from your shifter, I bet that is the reason why. Virtually no vibration dampening. The reason why I didn't buy the B&M one was because they use a teflon bushings for their "bearings" (while others used sealed bearings) and their stick was straight (while, others have a bend in it towards the driver for ergonomics and comfort).
