Loose shifter bushing. Go under the car and check/tighten the nut that holds the shifter to the shift linkage.

You have 2 linkages connecting to your trans right? is the bushing at the trans good? is the shifter bushing at the very rear of the linkage any good?

The linkage itself looks fine!
Can some provide a diagram for the linkage?
All I have on the tranny side of the linkage is the rubber round bushing,the cover plate and 12 mm screw

I had a very similar problem. I don't know if it helps at all but 2 of the teeth were broken off my flywheel and wouldn't go into the gears.

theres nothing wrong with the tranny, i can shift it from underneath just fine!
I think i might have figured it out, the driverside mount might be the wrong one, and same with the motor bracket. so tommorow i will change out and install the right one

so well see,,,,,,,,,
