Default loose auto shifter

my au's auto shifter is a bit loose, vibrates back and forth over any bumps in the road, a couple times over big bumps on a country hwy it dropped down to 3rd.

i heard somewhere a while back there's a bush somewhere in there that could be worn.

has anyone replaced this bush, have any tips on replacing?

thanks, ben.

Not saying this is your problem but I've got a loose shifter on my XH, doesn't fit exactly to what you're saying about jumping out of gear - bloody annoying though.

I just bought a pair of these bushes from my local Ford dealer for $10/pair - very common failure. I've not fitted them yet.
