Default Sloppy Shifting or No Shifting

the shifting is BAD!!!!!!!!
it goes into gear sometimes..... but its no the tranny b/c when i can physically put it into gear all is well .... the problem is actually moving the shifter itself its like its made of jell-o or something and i can put it in gear and have and extra 1-2in or play forwards or backwards *depending on the gear*. i noticed the problem a few weeks ago and it just has gotten worse .... someone told my it was the "shifter bushing" but idk were that would be located.? i have checked the clips that hold the cable in place on the car and tranny side .... i hope the pics help

i think my problem is number "7" ?? idk though

Its possible that your shift cables might have been stretched.

I had that jello like feeling on my 3-4 gears. I also had significant amount of play once it was in gear.

Hope that helps a little.
