Ok so second gear went on my trans the other day. I have the ddm bushings in now but want to put the stock ones back in. I'm only doing it because I don't know how hard the dealership will comb through the car. If any one has some I would appreciate it. As I know the transmission problem is common
Stock shifter bushings anyone have some?

I agree but I wanna b safe. If I can't get them by the weekend in taking it back anyway

They WILL NOT find the bushings. If the trans has failed, they will replace it and will have no reason to remove the shifter assembly. Even if they go a step further and adjust your shifter cables, they will not need to remove the assembly.
And trust me, the GM mechanics aren't sorcerers. Even looking directly at the DDMW bushings, they would have no reason to doubt they are stock. I doubt 99% of the GM techs have ever encountered the stock bushings as there is simply no reason to dig in there for any service, even the uncommon repairs.

Haha true I guess I'm just paranoid. Gotta wait for my ez flaw cable to come so I can put stock tune in n she goes to the dealership

Ditto what Pre said. Flash back to stock and make sure the engine bay looks stock and take her in.
I'm paranoid about dealers too because I seem to get the A-hole ones lately and would rather not have to discuss the merits of why XX mod is incapable of affecting XX drivability concern, and they need to just fix my effing car with the bulletin and Doc #s I so graciously supply.
Anyway I've wandered off topic, I would not worry about the bushings being discovered by the dealer.

It was my phone autocorrecting
When my trans blew two months back, nothing was said about my bushings, rear stabilizer bar, intake or tune.
i wouldn't worry that much, i have my stock bushings laying at home, i live in NY, i don't know how far you a willing to drive. it would be like a three hour drive up here.

Oddly enough the stock shifter bushings are the only part I have left of my Sonic.
When mine went in for blown second gear they said nothing about the intake, tune, shifter bushings, or many other mods. the only thing they mentioned was the cut off exhaust.
The one tech did say it was much more fun to drive than any stock Sonic he's been in.
