The "linkage" consists of the part you mentioned - the "yoke" that bolts to the transmission - as well as another similar yoke inside the cabin that attaches the rod you noted to the actual shifter. Both of those unions have bushings on either side of the "inside" tube that the bolt goes through. There is also a ball and socket inside the cabin as well as front and rear mounts for the whole mess..... the front "knuckle" that is pinned to the transmission shift rod can either be bolted together or can be riveted starting sometime in '96 or '97 I beleive. The riveted versions often fail and cannot be serviced.
