I have seen reference to the brass cross shaft bushing by list member
Roger Sisler. The brand name Rancho comes to mind.

I've used red RTV to seal between clutch housing and transmission. It
works fine. Many others have done same.

For shipping, I find that a service like TSB out of Point Roberts WA
works fine. Some items qualify under NAFTA. (may be duty free). A
service like this generally saves me time and sometimes, even with
fuel calculated in, I save money.
