Squeaky Shifter

2002 Protege 5 / 165000km's

my shifter squeaks when i shift. Its the loudest in 1st and 2nd. Everything is stock, im guessing its the shifter bushings? do i need a new shifter or i can get bushing seperate.

Thanks guys

the plastic bushins on the shifter pivot point need to be replaced. Also the shift lever probably has worn off the coating. I think those are a mazda only part. Better off going aftermarket. I wore the stocker out in the first year. Went with a B&M and it's still going after 140K miles.
