I have a 60k mile Boxster with Ben's short shifter installed with new bushings on the shifter end. I have very excessive shift play left to right, even though everything on the shifter end is tight and even my more slight movement will move the cables each way.

Therefore I thought the slop could be caused by the cable ends on the transmission side. But when I took a look at the cable ends, the rubber seems to be holding solid. At this point I'm really not sure what it could be..

Here's a video I took of the cable ends on the transmission side. The beginning of the video it's in first gear and the gear lever is being moved left to right while still in gear.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.
