Hi all, first timer here so go easy. Haha I found this forum searching in Google real quick because I figured I could use some expert advice (Because I am honest and humble that I don't know everything). I also tried searching for this same question just to make sure but couldn't find anything. Last thing I accidentally posted this same thing in the wrong section and no one was answering for obvious reason, but here it goes.

My question is about the "Gearchange Spindle Bushing" part number in the catalog T57. Mine started leaking and wearing out the "Gearchange Quadrant" part number T408/9. Same thing with the other bushing for the "Kickstarter Axle", but I got the same bushing for that matching the old with the new. I ordered and just received the new bushing for the "Gearchange Spindle", but notice on my old one that's worn, has only two notches in this, but the new one has four. Of course I bought it on eBay (no excuse haha). But it did say it replaces the T57. Fair enough, but my question is, what do these notches have in importance for this particular section of the bike, and should I just order the double notched one instead? Would the four notched one cause any harm? I'll add a picture to go with it side by side.

Thank you all for your wisdom in this. I hope this helps someone else later on down the road as well.

Good to know, thank you very much. I kind of thought it might have been something simple, but I had to make sure so I don't break anything. Hope this helps someone else.
