Thank you for the time spent on a thorough review. It's recommended if anyone gets stuck to email or call fullmetalbushing. Info on the website. Every bushing is carefully measured and 100% guarantee FMB item is shorter than the OEM unit. The old rings you'll find left over on the shifter are without any of the plastic/rubber coating that disintegrated. OEM is 11.80MM and FMB is 11.40mm +/-0.03mm. If it was too long you wouldn't be able to get the C clip back on. The area there can be minor fitment concern is on the flared end, but FMB cannot go thinner on this. It's better to have a customer sand off a tiny fraction of material and get a tight fit than to receive a loose fitting product. The metal can't go back on once it's gone! With the last update made, most customers will have a smooth drop in with proper lubrication. If not, 410 grit sandpaper from a HW store is enough to remove a TINY amount of material from the "mushroomed" end. Alternatively, any shop will usually install these for $100 labor and will have a grinder if needed. A customer even had a Chevy dealer install for him, which was surprising to allow after market. FMB is open to suggestions on this process if you or anyone has alternative options to consider. Happy driving all!
