Need Help Transmission Shift Linkage Question

[only126db]

Prepping to pull trans and unhooked linkage from trans and the linkage popped out of the socket on frame. If you look at picture the red arrows indicate where I am talking about. What holds that end in place and keeps the spring from doing nothing and going right through the socket? Is there a press on washer that is supposed to be there along with a larger than socket opening washer? I made a drawing of what I am talking about too.
