I'm not really convinced you can replace the bushing with something soft enough to be quiet but still function properly. If you could machine an Oring groove in the bushing, that would be ideal. The Oring would prevent rattle while yielding to shifter actuation. I have my doubts that will be possible though. Have you tried wrapping the shift arm joints in something elastic that will allow them to finding, but hold them right enough to not rattle?
I really like the flexible wrapping around the joints idea. I havent tried that yet.
Some sort of long silicone rubber type strip, wound around the joint(s), could potentially work quite well!
