How do your gauges look? Any of them acting up or any check engine lights?
The reason I ask is that it is very common for the ignition switch to cause shifting problems. That said there have been people that have lost their tranny but I would explore the much cheaper ignition switch. It is usually diagnosed as a shifting problem and some of the gauges acting stange like no RPM or Speed being reported.
As for your other questions about the bushings. There is a TSB on several issues. Intermediate steering shaft, Body bushings and a crossmember fix. One or all three could be the source of your issue.

Well I'm not convinced it is an ignition switch just yet because it is very common that there are gauge failures and you said you have none but here is some info if you want to investigate that route....

This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and to add additional models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-002B (Section 07 -- Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
* The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is ON.
* The transmission is stuck in third gear.
* The instrument cluster is inoperative.
Upon investigation, one or all of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0740, P0753, P0758, P0785, P1860 may be set.
Cause
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of power to the transmission on circuit 1020. This loss of power may be caused by an open in the ignition switch. This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Correction
With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the appropriate fuse listed below.
[Edited out chart]
Ignition 0 For the C/K trucks. (2002~2006)
[End edit]
If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect circuit 1020 between the fuse and the transmission for possible opens. If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, replace the ignition switch using the Ignition Switch Replacement procedure in the Steering Wheel and Column sub-section of the applicable Service Manual. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage.
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse listed above is being supplied battery voltage during operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of power at the solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system. If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections.
