I received only one bushing from Ron (mistake - should have been two). This was found when the car was already on the lift, exhaust down, etc. Ron apologized and recommended placing his bushing on the driver's side and leaving the OE bushing on the right side. In terms of noise, there was a slight whirling sound at the beginning (expected, as described by Ron). Either I got used to it or it has quieted down after a couple hundred miles. There's enough noise coming from the clutch engagement/disengagement and differential in this car that, to me, make any minor shifter noise irrelevant. I have no regrets.
I hope this helps.

That someone was me. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
I'm close to a decision, just not sure about the choice of bushings. Seems even with the 80a+ bushings you still got noticeable amount of NVH, but at a level I would likely be fine with as well. Curious if the other style bushings would've amplified the whirring sound more.
Is there any more slop or play with the 80a+ bushings?
Thanks
