Yup, the cheap-o parts.

I'd check with a freelance machine shop to get teflon parts made. They can often find material for you.

I installed the shifter tonight. As was stated above, it's not a hard job at all. My biggestproblem was getting the stock bushings off the housing. There was a lot of plastic flying around!

It feels great. I'm really happy with the shift action. It's still not as nice as the unit in the Miata, but I'm happy with it.

I'm a little worried about the ball-in-slot that replaces the ball-in-socket-in-slot used for side to side motion. The ball can wear a groove into the slot over time. Porsche's design is more robust. I guess only time will tell.
