Default MT75 4x4 Shortshift & Cradle Bushes

Hi

When i bought my Saph on the third run out it decided to jam itself in 3rd gear

So i removed the box and had it reconditioned.
Before removing the box, the gear selection was really sloppy and even when in gear there was a lot of movement in the gear stick (side to side).

I have purchased and fitted a shortshift (lower knuckle) but have noticed the cradle bushes are none exisitent so am wanting to replace these.
Im i better off pollybushing these or trying to source the alluminium ones?

Also where do i find the alluminium ones for sale?

Can anyone advise anything else what could be causing the sloppy gear selection as id rather solve it whilst the box is out

Thanks in advance

Reyland made the ones fitted to my car. As mentioned above they make a big difference!

Not sure if I'm breaking the rules, please tell me if I am mods, but I've got a set of Ali bushes say at he somewhere that I've never fitted if I'm allowed to flog them to a newbie and no one has gold membership status at the moment
