SJ, I think he's referring to the shaft of the shifter being bent. Not the shaft between the shifter housing and transmission. If that's the case, I've definitely seen that on the shifters that have the ball welded to the shaft. The welds weaken the shaft and it will bend (or even snap off) if the car is shifted hard. I don't think that a bent shifter shaft will cause you to miss 1st and 2nd, but missing 1st and 2nd could cause you to bend your shifter. It could possibly be that the bushing is worn. Go see Paul, I'm sure he'll accurately diagnose the problem.
