Semi Solid Shifter Linkage from Minkara Forums - Z27AG MT

After rebuilding my shifter linkage with a solid custom bush i been keeping my eyes open for what others do. Basically, everyone will eventually need to resolve this issue. The rubber grommet gets old and sloppy. I broke mine when removing it from the forks.
I was tempted to use some DSM bearing kit (or skateboard bearings) and change the ball stud to a rod n split pin.
But that would mean i would have to drill the ball stud out of the gearbox shifter fork assembly.
This is what i did:

I found this on minkara http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/398319/car/363133/1101034/note.aspx
These guy has some creative solutions to some tricky little colt problems. He has done what i have been contemplating for awhile.
Basically he wanted to re-support the destroyed bush.

You have two places where drill through with a red circle for the future here. 　You have to drill through the insistent about this two places before and after the stroke is not affected. 　Drill about not rotating smoothly enters muzzles - is best.
