Has this come on gradually, or just happened 'over night', or has the bus been taken apart as part of a resto?
If the back end is working as it should, it can only be the way the gear shift is mounted / something wrong in how it fits into the cup of the gear rod underneath.
Have you tried moving the gear shift left to right / back or forward? Have you had the gear shift off, and fitted the plate that gives the reverse lock out upside down?

Your mounting bolts aren't too long are they, fouling the shift rod?

if you cant get 2 and 4, you have either split the rubber coupling
or need to move the stick forwards
