    Transmission counter balance bushing

    has anyone tracked down a replacement for the rectangle plastic/ nylon bushing on the transmission counterweight? Went to Ford and they couldn't produce a part number and I'm not buying a new transmission just for a piece of plastic that is designed to wear out!
