Two other things, not even close to being mentioned, and VERY likely an issue with your shifting problem are the shifter itself and the motor mount. At your car's age I can almost 100% promise your motor mount is shot. I have an 02s with 58k, mine was toast. Very common. The shifter is an easy, relatively cheap fix that can literally transform your car. If your shifter feels sloppy, then it could use a swap as well.
What are the best options for shifters? I know some people upgrade to the 996 shifter, and there's also the Numeric Racing short throw... but that's $700.

The first place I took the car to said the mount looked fine, but I'm guessing he didn't actually take it off to look at it - probably just wiggled it around. Might be worth it to at least take it off and look at it. 987 upgrade is pretty popular, right?
