Hi,
I installed the bushing in my column just like in the bottom photo of your post. I applied a liberal amount of red grease inside and outside of the bushing and sprayed lubricant inside of the column and worked the gear selector up and down. I also lubed the mechanicals of the column and selector assembly under the hood. My truck was missing the bushing on the bottom of the adjusting rod where it links up with the bellcrank that hooks into the selector arm on the trans. After You get everything working smoothly again you may have to adjust the pinch bolt adjusting arm to line up your indicator inside the cab on the column as I had to do on my truck.
