hey iv had my car for a while now and since iv had it the shifter has been pretty sloppy ex. when its in gear it is sloppy feels like it could be in neutral. dosnt seem to hurt anything other than its kind of annoying wondering if anyone knows why its doing this and how much parts and labor it would be to fix this problem.

 

Replacing the bushings in the shift mechanism may help.

 

yup polyurethane shift linkage bushings.

cheap, easy to install, and you'll love it. I'd recommend a shoft shifter too, just cuz it's fun and easy to install once you have hte linkage out for the bushings.
