Step 1: Remove stock bushes
Step 2: Take bushes to skateboard shop and get equivalent size skateboard bearings for dirt-cheap
Step 3: Install skateboard bearings back into shifter eyelets
Step 4: .....
Step 5: Profit?

Would be pretty lucky to find the inner and outer sizes needed ?
I've never seen a skateboard bearing I'm guessing there a sealed unit

It's a standard mod for the AE92 C52s, the AE101/102s have different-sized linkages though so only one fits, but bearings come in all manner of sizes
Even if it's not a sealed unit (which it would be being a wheel bearing) the actual amount of rotation that it'll do in the linkage (and therefore the need for lubrication) is minimal - the benefit is the 100% metal/metal contact instead of the "squishy" rubber bush.
