Shifter bushing refresh BTDT?

[bill bleiler]

I had the same problem, turned out to be the bushing between the rod that comes out of the tranny and the shift linkage, there is supposed to be a bushing there and mine had fallen out or just worn away.....it was like 10 bucks from my local dealership part number
431-711-221 or 431-711-223-a  i had to remove the end coming from the shifter to get the new bushing in......if you need any further info let me know

Folks:

My shifter is about as precise as a wet noodle..
at 183k miles its evidently time to replace worn out parts.

Has anyone BTDT?
