in the parts game here you'd just call it a gear shift rod bush dude, just drop the thingy!!! this is assuming the bush is at the base of the
shifter.... |

Could be the bush/ coupling at the rear where the long shift rod meets the box.

yeah go under the car and check the "C" shapped thingy (coupling) that comes almost straight out of the gear box alot ofthe time it just needs
tighting butu they are cheap enough to replace and once done dont need to be replaced for a fair while making it one less thing to worry about
