rebuild stock shifter

Not yet ready to drop the coin on a B&M or Hurst shifter for the car, but the stocker is getting pretty sloppy. Can I replace just the bushings or whatever in it to get some more mileage out of it, or is my only option to get a whole new unit?

buy a $25 short stick off ebay.

or pony up for a little nicer unit and get a $55 lou's stick.

the only real bushing is the one at the base of the stick...and trust me...you'll love getting rid of it.

I priced out the replacement cup at the dealer today...$75..yowzers! I haven't yet yanked the stick, but I'm sure the ball in the shifter body is getting worn as well, and that's not available seperatly.

Since I'm not one to seriously abuse the shifter, I'm really considering trying one of the $40 eBay shifters, like

and seeing if I can fudge something for the shifter rail bushings.
