where to find tvr cable grommet? Reply #4 – August 07, 2012, 11:30:46 PM You may also find a problem with the grommet at the pivot. This grommet is not available. The only thing you can do about this is switch to a Locar cable or make your own grommet. I made my own with copper. Bet that will never dry rot! Quote Selected

The lever at the trans has the exact same bushing you just replaced. I would replace it as well. In between there is a pivot that takes it's own unique bushing that is not available. Quote Selected

No problem getting them that I know of. and the one at the lever on the trans is the same. I am referring to the pivot in between. It mounts to the Trans with a bolt right behind the bell housing.
