The alignment tool may or may not help. It will align the cables so the shifter engages the gears properly but won't do much for a worn out shifter with bushings that have 1" of slop in every direction.

If you don't have any problems with actually engaging gears, then you probably need a new shifter (or new shifter bushings).
