Manual Shift Lever Ball Bushing

[Micheal Nadeau]

Is there a bushing at the base of the shifter at the ball socket? I have a lot of play when engaged in a gear (in all directions) Before I take it apart I wanted to know if there was even anything there or if I should be looking at some other issue.

There is a phenolic bushing that the ball of the shifter sits in. It's possible that the bushing could be worn or cracked.

I completely missed that when checking LMR and AM. Thanks!
