Bushings are to your gears like the foundation is for your house. It is very important to have them tip top and robust. If you have ever been in a vehicle where the wheel bearing is bad you will notice the howling, grinding and shaking that it does. Your wheel is not running true with the rest of the vehicle. If you can tip the gear back and forth "ANY" amount ,the bushing is toast. I use vernier calipers for the shafts and feeler rods from Mc Masters for the bearing I.D.'s . The better the fit ,the better your gear and shim job will turn out. Sorry for the rant lol. Cheers
