PM BillyM. He makes a brass insert kit that works fantastic. I just installed one last week, the difference is night and day.

Has anyone ever used one? Can it possibly be worth the two hundred dollars it's going to cost?

for a circular piece of brass, 200 bucks is outrageous... you could machine yourself one for about 20 versus that 200!
I thought the R154 and W58 used the same shifter. NVM is see now that the R154 doesn't use the same socket. If the RHDJapan kit only provides the seat and knuckle bushing I can't see how if could possible be worth that much. You can buy replacement parts from Marlin Crawler every year for several years and not pay that much.
You'll have nearly zero play in the shifter (depending on how worn your guide pins and slots are)
I'd buy one... but I'm broke and I have bigger fish to fry

I have the nylon one from drift motion and it feels a hell of a lot better than the old stock one.
I think for most, the Marlin Crawler one is more than sufficient.
If you can justify the cost of the Ab-Flug, have at it. I had a nylon one before I went with a short shifter and I can't imagine any less play, so I doubt anyone would know the difference once installed.
On a side note, now I really want some pan fried rainbow trout.

I checked out DM, and noticed that they have a OEM shifter bushing and a hardened Urethane one also. The OEM shifter bushing is more than the Hardened Urethane Shifter Bushing. Is the OEM one better than the hardened Urethane shifter bushing?
No
The urethane one is the marlin crawler one that everyone loves (and people like me have been saying to buy forever...)
