That is called a shifter return spring.
All it does is place the shifter in the middle of the pattern...like 3 to 4.
If it wasn't there then the shifter "may" remain say at the 1 to 2nd gear slant..
The bushings are what the shifter depends on to make it tight and not flop all over the place in the trans.
** by the way,If you "decide" to replace the return spring..GOOD LUCK..it is not a FUN Job.
Honestly you will get used to the shifting without it and save aggravation if you do not replace it.
(I had a Trans shop Screw up my Trans when they replaced one.I got back a trans that wouldn't shift onto 5th/Rev.)
