I would think a worn ball joint or wheel bearing sound would eminate from either the front or rear of the car, not from the transmission.
The noise is eminating from the console. The only bushings I can think of are the one at each end of the shift linkage rod and I'm assuming there is one in the shifter itself that the shift lever pivets on. Are one of these the bushings you are speaking of.

Thank You
