I think I am looking at the same thing you are. Yes, yours looks updated as in "broken in two" being an upgrade (J/K). The side on the very end of the rod (by the retaining clip) is still there, but the outer half seems broken off, I think I see it further up the rod. If you feel up to it, the absolutely easiest way to put the new bushing on it to simply remove the lever and do it off the car. You need to put it in boiling water to soften it up, then will pop right in. Wait for it to cool enough to touch without scalding yourself obviously.
Vacuum modulator, ahead of the shift lever (on the trans) fairly low, maybe the same height as the pivot of the lever. Has a single vacuum line connected to it. Has a rubber cap over it, under this cap is a "T" piece that pulls out and that adjusts it. It affects how hard or soft the shifts are. ASK about it if you intend on adjusting it, don't just start fiddling with it.
Other major adjustment point is referred to as the TV cable (TV=throttle valve), this is adjusted at the throttle linkage under the hood, it more affects WHEN the transmission shifts, not the hard or softness of the shift.
