Question about shifter linkage

[john]

The car in question is my winter beater, a 92 laser AWD. Mods do not matter for the question but it has 2.5" turboback, mbc, k & n, intake pipe, ARPs, no egr shit or ac, and boost gauge. The shifter doesn't like to shift into 5th or reverse. It goes in fine when driving (5th) but the shifter seems as if it almost smacks the side of the console. Reverse is sometimes a bitch. I believe Peter or someone on here had the same problem but I cannot remember. It is very drivable but a bitch to fight the tranny into reverse upon startup. Could it be worn out bushings in the linkage? Anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance, John.
