My mechanic said there is about an 1/8" slop in the ball and cup bushing. Would that translate to some of the poor shifting?
Also, another bushing that the rod goes through in the back. He said it appears that it is a bronze bushing? Anyone know what that particular one would be called? |

The cup-like bushing at the transmission is a very snug fit when new. There is no noticeable play. Sounds like yours should be replaced.
The brass bushing at the rear tranny console is probably a commonly available aftermarket type bushing which replaces the stock plastic bushing. |

I had my tranny bushing replaced a few weeks ago at 45K or so. The car is shifting into 2nd much more easily now. It's made a big improvement.
