The Gearshift Selector Bushing is a component in a vehicle's transmission system that helps to connect the gear shifter to the transmission itself. It allows for smoother gear shifting by reducing friction and play in the gear selector mechanism.

Replacing a worn bushing can improve the overall performance of the gear shifting system.
