>> Are OEM shifter-bushing parts still available for ze M5OD??...

[fixizin]

... as seen "On TV" in the classic how-to: https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/shifter-bushing-replacement/#gsc.tab=0

... or is Dorman the only option remaining? Would a Mazda dealer be a better bet than a FoMoCo Dealer?

Lemme know, thanks in advance!

I have only had OEM Ford fail in under 100k miles, Seems like the Chinese Dorman plastic holds up better.

OK, well then I'm guessing one (or both?) of my original Ford pivot-pins failed... luckily I saved the Dorman pins... in a Dorman box... somewhere.
