Ever since I bought my car I've had one problem, third sometimes doesn't
want to physically go into gear. I originally thought it had something to do
with the "Relay Shift Lever" (In second picture) but that seems to be perfectly
fine. Now I suspect it has something to do with the part pictured first. The
long part will not move all the way back towards the car. Does this have a
more serious cause or can I try and fix it myself?

It looks like you have worn pivots or the shifter cables need replacement. Please send more pics of the pivot bushing and here are diagrams and instructions to replace the shift cables. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
