If you are having issues moving the shifter front to back, this will most likely be your issue.

First pop the shift link off. Or whatever it's called, the green bit.

Remove the nut, the bolt going through is an allen tip. Either 3/16 or 5/32 if I remember correctly.

The big washer should slide off with the bushing in it.

Remove the bushing from the middle of the washer and make sure they're both nice and smooth and have no pitting or gouging.

If they do just polish them both up and grease em up before reassembly.
