[DeTomaso] Oilite Bronze Bushings - Marlin Jack?

[Julian Kift]

I believe Marlin and some of the vendors sell them.
 
I was always an advocate of the oilite until I got my GT5; Coz had the ZF rebuilt and it was fresh back from Dennis Quella, in fact Coz and I installed it when I picked up the car from him and I then proceeded to drive from Phoenix to Reno non stop (other than gas). The car wasn't shifting quite correctly and we got Dennis to drive the car at the Pahrump track during the Fun Rally, he agreed it was still not shifting correctly. I then pulled the ZF and sent it back, Dennis went back though it and could find nothing wrong, however he sent it back with a needle bearing and said try that for the pilot. Low and behold that fixed all my problems, so now I'm a convert to the needle bearing and never had an issue since.
 
It would be interesting to see if Lloyd Butfoy's opinion aligns with Dennis on the needle bearing vs. oilite
