On the driver's hand side where the ball/spring/plunger piece is... Does the "plunger" piece neeed to be oriented a certain way? I didnt put any thought into this because i assume this piece's job is to center the shifter from 5/R which it does just fine.

I don't think removing the control rod end would do anything. It looks like everything it is there correctly and you have to remove the extension housing to pull it, which is annoying if everything is sealed. By "plunger" I assume you're referring to the thing above the longer spring in my picture below?
Again, I don't know how different the TII transmissions are from the n/a ones but in my case the flat spot on this feature needs to be facing the rear of the the car. Here is where the order of installation is important. After the control rod end and roll pin are installed next is the large spring and the plunger (these are what provide the spring force for 5/reverse). After that is the small steel ball, small spring, and bolt. Any important step is to rotate the control rod end as if you were shifting into 5/reverse before installing the steel ball and spring. The steel ball has to engage the flat spot on the "plunger." Since you said you can get into every gear I don't think this is an issue and either way, this shouldn't affect the 1/2 return.

My picture above has all the parts for a n/a transmission. I'd have to take a look in the FSM to see if the TII is any different. For reference here is how mine looked what I got everything back together:
Looks the same, right?
