I saw a 116 v8 with a stick at the yard today!!!
Yes, there is a plastic bushing that goes on the end of the shaft the shifter slides and swivels on. It is white plastic and shaped like Abe Lincolns hat. When it wears out the shifter gets sloppy and it is hard to get the exact gear you want. With the shifter out of the car it is pretty simple to change, and it will feel like a new shifter again.
