It's been a while since I've looked at mine, but if your shifter has a lot of slop, you'll want to check where the shifter pawl is fitted into the end of the shifter. If you remove the roll pin and pull the pawl out of the end of the shifter, there should be a pair of o-rings. If those are missing (like mine were) you'll have a lot of slop. I replaced mine with the largest diameter o-ring stock I could compress into there. It tightened my shifter up considerably. Of course, shifter slop is all relative. This transmission will never have a tight pattern
