I'm assuming you mean the "knuckle" that's held on to the shift rod with a conical screw. The bushing is plastic so, take a thin screwdriver and pry it out. Clean everything and put grease at the base where the bushing goes in. The bushing should slide right in with no pressure. You should push it far enough to press some grease out of the little hole on the side. Then put some grease in the cup of the bushing and press it on the lever sticking out of the tranny. This will require a pry bar and some leverage to snap it on.

The cup bushing has to be installed on the trans lever before sliding the cast piece onto it.
