So I got the 1-2 and 5-reverse backwards in my first response and yeah, the control end bushing is only in the series 5 n/a transmission (thanks Rotary Revolution) so here's try #3. Have you tried taking the control end assembly apart and putting it back together again? There is a specific order some parts need to be installed. Have you tried with the shifter completely bolted back in? You picture above shows the shift lever without the lower boot and mounting flange.
