Paul Cangialosi duplicated the nylon bushings out of tool steel and also
redesigned the retention springs not to pop off (which they can do).

Paul's bushing/spring set ensures my Comp Plus/Toploader shifts perfectly,
every gear every time. Even when I row those gears hard.

Here's a link to the product and also Paul's Youtube video explaining
how his bushing will improve the quality of your gear shifts for just $20.

Hurst also offers steel bushing kits - that's what I'm running.
