Timely thread. I just experienced the same problem earlier this week, sloppy shifting and could not get 4th or 5th gear. Yesterday I had a chance to trouble shoot and discovered a bushing had failed in the coupler just outside the firewall, part #26 in the diagram. This allowed the pin to slip half-way out of the coupler. Fortunately I had another shift rod with coupler in my, uh, spare parts stock. My wife came out and resignedly acknowledged it was good I kept those stockpiled parts.
