    My shifter had gotten really sloppy, lots of movement side to side even when
    in gear. It wasn't so bad as to restrict my driving, but quite annoying
    nonetheless.

    I ended up replacing these 2 plastic bushings right underneath the shifter.
    See website for diagram. Now its tight as can be, and my car feels brand new
    again! Yay!

    The part I replaced is number 5, it cost $4 at the dealership. Now that I
    know what they look like, I may try to have some aluminum or brass ones made
    up next time... Anyone have a source on these?

    You want your trans to shift like buttered Teflon, stick with the
    plastic ones. bob

    There is discussion that hard bushings can be bad for the trans. When you
    have sloppy or errant forces, rubber bushings absorb this, hard bushings
    transmit it to the tranny.
