Took me a minute, till I saw you have a 79! You're talking about the u-joint near the trans, with the large (10mm OD?) pin? Yes, that needs to be driven out, tap it out with a ball peen hammer. The center is wider than the ends (which helps contribute to the slop in the shifter).

thanks. i cut a hole in the floor and found, surprise surprise, no bushing left at all. replacement ended up being pretty easy and man is that shifter crisp now, what a difference
