How far do you have to move the shifter for it to shift? Has it always been this way?

You may just need to adjust the shift rod.

play in shifter
Iv had the same forward control setup for about five years. I have checked all the linkage the free play is happening inside the transmission. I now have to lift my foot off the peg to shift up.

Pull the cover and see if the rod is stripped inside the trans.
