Glad to see everybody jumped all over this to help me out. The auto parts store didi'nt have the shifter bushings. I dropped the rod at the tranny and the bushing looked fine. So, that's not making the noise, i don't think. I did:however, put some grease between the bushing and where it sits, and the noise seems not as loud. I also, noticed the noise lessened when i moved the shifter a little before it pops out of gear into neutral. I guess it's something you have to deal with, driving a car with almost 200k miles on it.
