Found the shift linkage crossbar without its bushing. Frame end.
Fabbed up a makeshift keeper from a 1/2in nut, tapped in an 8-32 machine screw, and used low-strength (Purple) to hopefully secure it. Will have to order some bushings; might as well order enough for all of them. Safety first, I'm not playing crunchy today! This where its supposed to fit. The yellow on the right is the tranny shift lever. The frame is on the left. The bolt and block are on the end of the linkage that hooks to steer column. Nice, pretty blue bushes. To install, had left arm over the tranny crossmember holding screwdriver. The right hand was trying to hold the nut and linkage together. I'll see how long this lasts.
It is working now.
