Where did you get the oem bushings or where can I get them in the states? Also where do the bushings go in the shifter don't understand
JNZTUNING.NET or similar website can acquire the bushings, as can a Mitsu dealer.
I ordered my bushings using information from ASA and the online version located at
www.partsbase.org, and went onto AMAYAMA.com (Australian based but sourcing parts from Japan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE))
Bushings were pretty cheap, less than $2 each.
RTMRacing that I got my aftermarket brass bushings from, are a little more expensive, but with proper greasing, should outlast the car.

I may have missed it but I'm curious what method you used for shifter arm differences when swapping to the f5m33 from the KM210?
I had to use a rather potent air hammer and modified pokey bit to get the lock pin to come out of the shifter rod, to allow the shifter arms to be swapped, KM210 to the F5M33 transmission. Not a job for the faint of heart, as it's a rather brutal task that tests your nerves and as one would suspect the strength of the aluminum outer case, as you hold the shaft and hammer away. EEp.
I'm pretty sure that you air hammer the pin towards the top of the bellhousing, so without a radiator, you could do this in the car if need be. I know I took a pic of this.
