Ok, I have a 90YJ with the AX15 transmission. I pulled the shifter out from
the top of the transmission and see that in the transmission shift tower is
the remnants of a plastic bushing, a bit less than 2" in diameter. This
bushing is what the large "ball" near the end of the shifter is supposed to
rest upon. It seems that the shifter rod acutally rests on this bushing to
provide a smoother shift and prevent metal on metal contact. My bushing is
totally disintegrated. I call the stealership to check into the
availability of this part. Not available. Can only get with the purchase
of the entire shift tower piece, for the low price of $217. Has anybody
else had to replace this plastic bushing in the shift tower? If so, what
did you do?

The shift cup nushing is the small one (3/4" disa) on the end on the
shift stick at the botttom of teh shift tower. This different then the
2" dia one the the shifter slides in.

I ordered the one Bill linked to las year, and got the little one.

The big bushing is not sold any where seperatley you have to buy a new
tower to replace it.

I got a new tower at a local wrecker for $25CND.

Looks like they call it a plug, that's what it does, even though the
shift lever pivots on it.
