Assuming the circlips and cups are in place then maybe the locknuts have loosened, if that is the case I think you'll need to remove the console to get the allen wrench into the ends of the bolt section to tighten them. If the sloppyness is due to the blue ball part in the white plastic yoke on the side, then you need the part that Ben is currently testing in prototype to fix that or another plastic yoke that hasn't been worn from an aftermarket shifter.
Hi PaulE,

Thank you very much for the provided photo and info. Sorry for the super late reply.
The circlips seem to be in place and there is no fore or aft movement within the two cups. I will have to take the console apart to get a better visual, I'm thinking it might be the locknuts like you mentioned.

Did you happen to get your new bearings in ?

I got the bearings in and the shifter back together last weekend. I left the console out as I had to bring my car in to the shop for its 1500 mile post break-in oil change and checkup this past week, so I had them look over the cables and other adjustments to make sure everything was ok. This weekend I put the console back in so it's all buttoned up now.

If you have the shift boot off the console, you should be able to see if the lock nuts are loose or out of adjustment. If you can slide the shifter fore and aft within the cups, the lock nuts are out of adjustment. Good luck!
