6mt problem with shifter "gate" pattern

When I put the shifter in neutral, It doesen't go to the center position. It stays on the 1st-2nd or 5th-6th side. I thought it was the shifter because 3 weeks ago when I bought it the shifter was cut and shortened. So I installed the P-spec shifter. Too no avail. Now I am out of ideas other than going after the shifter cables? The left one seems a little stiff. Please help guys!

the spring is good. Which bushing? The golf ball one at the bottom of the shifter is brand new. has lithium on it too. I may replace the cable assembly next. The left cable has a little friction but it may be normal. who knows! Damn the used car buying experience
