If you're talking about #27, then I'll have one of those tonight:  I
ordered one Monday.  The bushings for #35 that are listed in the file that
L-A posted were in stock at the dealer.  I'll take a picture of all the
parts and the bags they came in tonight and send it your way.

The bushings for #35 are pretty small, maybe the diameter of a dime, and a
half an inch high.  The bag is marked 803 711 279E, so I can only assume
they're right until I go to install them on the transmission in the shop
this weekend.
