Default Gearbox linkage bother

Hi, I'm currently in the process of trying to stiffen up my gear stick on my 03 sti as it feels less sporty and more Morris minor. When I initially read up on what to everything pointed to the rubber bush on the linkage support bar...(think that's what it's called ) so I bought a perrin poly replacement. Anyways now I have the car jacked up the main culprit seems to be the knukle joint itself more precisely where the roll pins secure it to the shaft. So no ammount of new bushes will resolve it. So I have been looking for a replacement part but can't find anything anywhere. Any advice is much appreciated.

Are they solid nylon? And the main issue is with where the knukle joint attaches to the shaft coming out of the gearbox, it's like the holes are slightly oversized on the linkage where the roll pins go through.

I run these in my classic RA running a 6speed.
Alyns bush kit made a huge difference, would highly recommend!

I also bought alyns kit for the knuckle UJ joints and used a beatrush shifter bush instead, can't wait to try it out.
