yep. I think they're like 25 dollars at the dealer and from what I hear, theyre pretty easy to install. My bushings are almost dead. When my shifter is in neutral, its loose on the left side, but on the right side it still works. I need to change mines as well.

If you don't mind waiting for them, you can order them from Mazdatrix. I got mine from there, and they are pretty easy to install.

I will try to find a page that has step by step directions for you. I followed them really easy.

Make sure you get the very durable white nylon lower bushing and not so durable blue upper bushing. The Mazda Dealer will try and sell you two upper bushings if you're not careful. The Mazdatrix web site does a good job explaining this.
