The bushings are on the end of the shifter, that rubber piece does nothing for the "feel" of the shifter. If the bushings are gone they need replacing!

Makes a world of difference when you replace them

not necc..
some ppl have a problem with the "socket" itself...
the ball joint and socket that the shifter pivots in might be messed up... so the ball on the end of the shifter ends up comin out of it's socket...
change the bushings first.. but if this doesn't fix it, don't be suprised...
if it's the socket.. only way to fix it, is to drop the tranny...
