Slop in Gearshift

Car shifts fine through all gears...No shifting problems whatsoever.. but there is a awful lot of "slop" with the gearshift when in any gear..



Example..I can move the gearshift lever probably a good 4-6 inches from left to right of center while in any gear..



Any thoughs..Maybe some kind of bushing worn ?



Thanks..

Have you done a drain-n-fill of the Honda MTF lately? The newer formulation is apparently nicer in a couple respects.
