Yes, those are the shift coupler bushings. They fit in the "coupler" at the far end of the shift rod, where it attaches to the transmission. Check HERE look for "shift rod" #12, the bushings fit in the universal at the end that attaches to the transmission.
Easy to replace, and they will be worn, just take the rod out, put the coupler in a vice, gently, and knock out the pin, replace the bushings and then replace the pin.
PS. If you have the Rothsport "Golden Rod" you will not need the coupler bushings. The golden rod uses needle bearings in place of poly bushings.

resurrecting an old thread as i have a fresh new rs shifter ready to install.
looks like i need to cut an oval hole to increase the size of the original 1991 c2 hole. what material is this? does it need some primer or goop to rust proof?
if i spec oval bushings will pelican or ebs know what i'm talking about?
an other bushings or bearings or anything should be changed while i'm down and in there?? maybe a guard lsd??

I had the shop use the Rothsport Shifter Bushing Kit (includes a template)

Please Note: Early model 90-91 964's will need to have the round bushings in the shifter console replaced with the later style oblong bushings/ bearing sleeves. The holes in the console will need to be enlarged at the top so the oblong bushings will fit. At the bottom of this page we offer a kit with both bushings and a metal template for making this update.

bringing up an old thread here and wondering there are two places to make this new oval shaped hole.. one in the front and one closer to the rear.
do you make the hole in front, rear or both???

You have to make the "round rect" on both sides of the housing, otherwise the cylinder that the shifter slides on wouldn't be level:

okay it was not totally clear to me but makes sense now the shifter did not seem 28mm taller... i made the first hole in the front on my 1991 964 and the bottom of the shifter was 'pressing' on the cover plate underneath (the one with 10 holes and is approx 1' x 4' long) so i now understand why... haha.. i'll order another bushing and make another hole... thanks for quick response.
