I just bought a 94 Mirage and the shifter is really sloppy. Does anyone know where to begin troubleshooting this? I thought I had heard that there was a bushing that needed to be replaced.
Sloppy shifter?

Slop occurs in two places:
- on the transmission levers themselves there is a rubber insert in the end of each shift cable. These sometimes fall apart or out. Its simple enough to fit them back in with a bit of WD40 and some vice grips. There's also a support bracket on for the cables about 8" from the shift levers. Make sure this is not floating about (rubber grommets deteriorate).
- In the shift lever itself in the cabin, there's rubber mounting grommets that fall apart, and also some nylon washers in the L-R, Bkg-Fwd movement of the lever that wear out.
