Rubber shroud for gear shift lever? 1988 HR Imperial 35

[tarifachris]

When I worked on the parking brake cable, I had my nose directly in front of this part and I am wondering if there
is normally a rubber inside? Makes no sense that the gear lever rod flops loosely inside this bracket...

Has someone a name or order number for the rubber?

I put a 3/8 nylon spacer inside... shaved a 45 degree angel on one side. Makes more sense then rubber, since it
is close to the exhaust. Looks like it was original like this.

Thanks for sharing this creative, alternative fix!  That's the art of vintage RVing.
