What is this part missing and how is it fixed?

That's the left side of the dash tower.
I've never had the need (yet) to remove mine.

The plastic bushing is missing. It keeps the hydro drive lever in place. You probably won't be able to find a OEM replacement since when they are removed its near impossible to not destroy it. I suggest you buy a metal bushing. I got a flanged bronze bushing that I cut to the proper length. Worked great. I removed the lever entirely (wasn't easy) then replaced both plastic bushings.
what does it affect by not having it in place?
Probably not much. The lever arm will still operate the hydro drive, but it'll move around a bit.what does it affect by not having it in place?
If you get a tight bushing (I think the OD is 15/16 and ID was 3/4) you probably could replace the bushing from the outside face, just make sure the bushing doesn't project more than about an 1/8" inside the tower.
