From Honda's parts catalog, it's the whole assembly just like #1 in the drawing in post-7. I haven't heard of anyone finding that bushing but who knows??
Up on the transmission, #8 looks like the bracket that holds the shift cables. Is there anything about how the cable housings attach to that bracket that changes the position? Those retaining clips (#11 in post-7) - can you put them in a different position to move that cable further forwards?
Mine will go into 2,4,R but won’t go into 1,3,5...

All I did was replace the big bushing, where it connects to the tranny. The shifter has no problem going in 1st, 3rd, and 5th, which is forward, but trying to pull back into 2nd, 4th and reverse, it won't "clunk" into the gear. In my perspective, when I pull the shifter down into second, fourth, reverse, the cable is moving forward at the tranny. I'm curious if the tranny has to be in neutral when mounting the bushing. It's as if the cable isn't long enough or strong enough to push the lever notchy thingy into gear. Like it needs 2 more millimeters of an inch to get in gear, if that makes any sense.
