Shifter noise in 2nd & 3rd after replacing the 3 bushings!

I have a 77 280 with a 77/5 speed. About a year ago I replaced my shifter bushings (along with the 2 boots) because they were worn out and the shifter was rattling around. It was quiet for about the year when it started making noise again. I bought the 3 bushings and replaced them again expecting it to take care of the noise...it did not. It's only in 2nd and 3rd and mostly as I accelerate. Before I reinstalled the boots I checked to make sure the shifter was not making contact with anything. I was looking around because the bushings I removed were in excellent shape. Didn't see anything that didn't look right. Everything looked really good and tight. When I was installing the center console I was hopeful that the noise would be gone...wrong! Anyone experience the same thing or have any ideas? Thanks.

Really, no one has had a similar problem?
