Default Shifter bushing bolt rusted

Hi guys,

I really need your advice. So I used zip ties to hold my shifter in place for now until i find a solution but my problem isn't the bushing inside the cable, it's the bolt that goes into the bushing. I believe that due to rust it began to chip off and it doesn't stay inside. I can't find the part on ebay nor do I know what's it called. Any advice would be grately appreciated. Or any other perma fix would be nice.

Cheers.

If you're talking about the bushing at the transmission, I used a thru bolt with a teflon bushing and aircraft nut on mine.

Just thought I'd share how I fixed the issue. First of all I can't imagine how someone could put something so badly designed in a heavy duty car like this. I got tired of going under the car during wheeling so I thought about a permanent solution. I drilled through the original rusted bolt and used a screw with 3 nuts - 1 extra to counter the rotation. All in all I think the shifter moves even better. It just feels much more firm.
