Default New Bushings for Pro 5.0 sts?

So I just swapped a Hurst STS in from my prior Pro 5.0 in my 06 GT manual, and I had to use/chop down the bushings off the Pro 5.0 as the Hurst kit wasn't complete. Any idea where I can get new bushings for the Pro 5.0 so I can sell it? I figured I could pay couple bucks and get it from Pro 5.0 but while I find tons of places that sell their products, I cannot a site for the company itself.

I looked at a couple kits online and looks like each one has a slightly different set of bushings so doesn't look like I could get a generic set. Just want to make sure the kit is 100% complete before I list it up for sale...

Thanks!

I loved the first 3 gears in the Pro 5.0 but it was hard as hell to get into reverse and 5th occasionally not to mention downshifting from 5th to 3rd on the freeway. The hurst def is more notchy but I like it far better so far.

Good luck. I bought a Pro5.0 from a member here. I had the same problem with 5th and reverse. I read a couple of places that you could buy a bushing kit from Pro5.0 so I emailed them, explained the situation and told them that I would like to buy a bushing kit from them. 3 days later I get a response telling me that they do not offer the bushing kit and that I should just buy a new shifter.

I want to know the same thing, my Pro5.0 is about 5 years old and could use some fresh bushings.

Haven't been able to find anywhere can get new ones from Pro 5.0. Looks like need a set of stock bushings and modify to fit.
