    Well, I guess the bushing could be damaged while driving it out of the gearcase. You could pass the shift rod through the bushing once it is out of the gearcase to check for damage. It will bind if damaged.
    Driving it out is the tricky part, when you really need the shift rod tool. Driving it back in could be done with a socket or something like that, although it is difficult to get everything oriented correctly down inside the gearcase without the tool.
