I'll try to at least get the ball rolling here for you.
Never noticed the AC water dripping on to the switch. The pic is kind of small but yes I'd say there should be a small rubber piece attached to what looks like a short, hard plastic tube.
The rest of it is a bit confusing, here's what I think you mean: On the switch, there is a lever which changes the gear you are in. At the top of that lever is the shift rod, this is what seems to be rusty on your car. The hole in the lever for the shift rod is a white plastic bushing, that keeps the rod from wiggling too much, like a spacer. These do tend to wear out over time. When it wears out the shifter will make a metallic rattling sort of noise when shifting to different gears (park to drive for example). The part is called the shift lever bushing. Helps?
