Problem solved. After removing a shift link and neutral safety switch (NSS) off of a parts cat I'm parting out on ebay, I saw that the screw in pic 1 labeled 1 had loosened allowing the metal prongs in pic 2 to misalign. I adjusted it to the position that was on my parts cars nss that I had removed. By the way there is nothing under the shift console that could cause this problem, unless the shifter bushings were to become worn out. Then you'd have shifting problems. That's from past experience. I've had to rebuild automatic and manual shifters when the shift bushings went out. I'm not talking about linkage bushings. Email me if I can help anyone with the same problem. Oh by the way the linkage is suppose to ne bent like in previous pic's. Ray Sorry about the bad pictures I had to use my scanner.
