IIRC there are two nylon balls and a nylon bushing in the linkage on
top of the tranny. I've had the pleasure of only 3rd and 4th three
times, and I believe the order of failure was large ball, small ball,
bushing. There was at least a year or two between each failure. I
think Steve at Europarts sells a kit with all the pieces and
recommends replacing them all at once.
Replacing the components is not technically difficult, but access is a
bit of a pain and it can take some perseverance.

Would someone mind describing how to replace the darn bushings

Sounds more like something came loose and not a bushing. It's really a
matter of getting under the van and looking at the shifter rods and levers
and seeing if something looks disconnected.
