bushing problem

I finally got the shift lever from D to 4 with a "smack", so I think you are correct about the bushings needing replacement. Thanks for your help.

I changed my bushings recently and the fault was purely mechanical. The missing bushings causing a slight misalignment, making moving the shifter difficult.

If you just can't toggle the shifter to show 4th gear, then it sounds more like a problem with the shifter itself.
