I know this is probably a very common post or problem but I just bought a 2011 ranger and noticed that the gear shift lever is loose and I've checked the common loose torx screws and they seem to be tight so from what I've read I should probably check the gear shift lever bushing which is the orange bushing at the end of the lever, just wondering how hard that is to get to and how hard to replace and it is shifting gears just fine just alot of play in the lever any help would be appreciated thank

What's the worst that could happen?
If you're location is any indication of the types of roads you travel, the shift - and I use that term loosely - bracket and linkage on the trans may just need a good cleaning.
