Shifter: lower ball replacement

So shifting is okay, but I'm tracking down a small annoying buzzing vibration from the shifter - noticeable only when running in 5th gear at >65mph. If I push on the shifter left or right a little, it stops. Wild guess was the white plastic coupling around the upper (metal) ball.
Now removed, the upper ball area is fine - although some tiny weld residue had to be filed off the metal ball where it was scratching the plastic coupling.
The lower ball is not too bad at first glance, but appears to be constructed with a rubber bushing inside it. That bushing is deteriorating and the plastic ball is compressing around it - so not perfectly round anymore. Maybe it's nothing to do with the buzzing, but probably adds a little play into the shifter - not as tight fit anymore.
Trouble is, I can't find the part number - and is it 1 or 3 parts - plastic ball, rubber bushing, and plastic shaft running through the bushing?
Experiences?
Thanks,
Brian
