Unlike the delrin bushing, the aluminum bushing does not snap over the shifter arm properly. I contacted 5X about this and they said to allow it to rest around the ball and drop it in. I did as they suggested and buttoned everything up. Compared to the delrin bushing I had in it, which was in decent condition, the 5X provided no noticeable increase in the precision of the shifts. Instead, it fit loosely, and rattles like crazy. The rattling "buzz" coming from inside my turret is driving me nuts. After a few weeks, I am removing this and putting the factory delrin bushing back in.
