Subject:automatic transmission adjusting

Anyone know how to adjust the stick on an AT?  I was having trouble shifting mine.  It was really hard to shift.  The selector to linkage part just above the spare tire was incredibly dirty with a dirt and grease mixture.  So dirty, that I couldn't even tell it was a slotted hole.  Soooo... I removed  up the bolt and bushings and cleaned them up.  Is this supposed to slide or does it work by clamping the bushings to the linkage rod?  Right now when I start the van, it drifts backwards as if slightly in reverse.

BTW, I tried to search the archives, with no results.  Ever do a search with "AT" or "auto" or "adjust" in it? Don't...it is not case sensitive... (at).
