Bringin' home another one, eh Bob? Cool... I'll assume the price was right?

One thing that I don't see as having been mentioned... bad transmission mount causing the shift lever itself to foul its hole in the tunnel... Just pull off that rubber boot and see if it looks like it may not be fully engaging. For that matter, the rubber boot could be getting in the way.

(EDIT)... I see that you replaced the tranny mount already... but maybe it's still sitting low for some reason...

If that doesn't look to be the problem, I'd go with the orange bungee to getcha home... If worse comes to worse, you could always bypass the 4th gear sensor switch so you can run the overdrive in 3rd...

Good luck... be sure ot post some pics when you get 'er home!
