[urq] Shifter bushings (aka "sockets")

[Wbremer]

My (Maine) local Audi dealer ordered and obtained for me the 803 711 279 E
"sockets" for $11.50 a piece, and I bought and installed two in my '82 urq.
These are the same parts used in the 85-89 standard transmission 5000S and
CSTQ cars.  WorldParts had these as well, but actually slightly more
expensive, plus significant stated additional shipping charges.  The dealer
said they Audi warehouse had a lot of them.  A Google search of the part
number turned up a lot of links to Audi aftermarket part companies having
far lower prices for the sockets, but they all seemed to have been out of
business for 5 +/- years....
