i went to the dealership and we couldn't find this bushing on the parts screen. It is the little nylon orange bushing that sits in end of the extension housing shift rod, and connects to the little round part on the very end of the shifter.

 

It's actually white when new, orange when old and nasty.

I need one too. Mine clunks when I shift. Just no time to fix it.

 

If your're a Mazda Motorsports member you can get their aluminum shift bushing for under $10:



My stock plastic one was cracked too after who knows how long. The aluminum one doesn't feel harsher at all, just a little bit finer. It mo' betta'

Shouldn't take anyone more than 15 mins to replace.

 

If you would ever actually drive that thing Paulie I would tell ya to bring it over here

 

I'm supposed to get my Mazdacomp bushing today. If I have time I'll snap a couple comparison pictures.
