The "linkage" consists of the part you mentioned - the "yoke" that bolts to the transmission - as well as another similar yoke inside the cabin that attaches the rod you noted to the actual shifter. Both of those unions have bushings on either side of the "inside" tube that the bolt goes through. There is also a ball and socket inside the cabin as well as front and rear mounts for the whole mess..... the front "knuckle" that is pinned to the transmission shift rod can either be bolted together or can be riveted starting sometime in '96 or '97 I beleive. The riveted versions often fail and cannot be serviced.

Syncro problems are usually related to grinding when shifting, etc. If it's not staying in a gear then you may have lost one or more of the three spring loaded keepers that maintain the syncro posistion - unfortunately no amount of expensive gear oil will help with that. It could be something wrong with your shifter linkage also - I would check all your bushings, etc. Slop in them might be causing you to not get it into gear far enough.
The clutch cable would not be related. The gear selection is entirely internal except for the linkage rod that goes to the shifter.
