transmission delay/clunking & a loose shifter..

my car comes with such problem that it delays 1-2 seconds while upshifting and gives me a big "push" and clunks when downshifting. (90% of these happen during the transmission shifts bewteen 2nd and 3rd gears)..

and I feel the following "driving habit" will make it not that obvious:
I usually put my shifter lever at "3" if the speed limit is no more than 60km/h and push it to "D" when it raise to 80km/h or on high way. so far so good (my feeling only, not my car's maybe?..)

then here comes the new problem: I just realised that the shifter knob became very loose (it can move about 5mm in D & 3 slot). I checked other topic in the forum and most likely my car has a bad bushing..

my concern: are all these issues "inter-connected" or just happen seperately ?
