Shifter Bushing
 
I heard a little jingle jingle while taking out of 2nd gear and when moving the shifter side to side in neutral and checked it out today and found where it's comming from. I'll try to attach an image to show where it is. It's pointed out with an blue arrow. My problem is that I'm not sure how I would install the bushing because there are to metal "thingies" on each side that are NOT screws or bolts or nuts. How can I replace the bushing?

Sorry to bear bad news but those bushings are not servicable you have to get the shift rod for them .The front and rear bushings you can buy seperate.

Ended up going to a local mazda parts place with the control rod in hand and before I could say anything they asked me if I wanted the bushings and I said "yup!" So he brought them out and then I asked How do I install them?, and he said "Take a hacksaw or somekind of saw and cut through the bar that goes from side to side and then install this nut and bolt along with the bushings." So I took the zip mate on my Roto-Zip and cut it right off and installed everything nice and tight ;)
