If the toothed nylon type bush that holds the shifter is worn yes it would be sloppy. Also if the linkage attachment to the shifter isn't tight it would be sloppier. I took mine apart today, quite funny that this thread came up. I was considering changing but it looks as good as new I'm sticking with OEM rather than step into the unknown.

im guessing u have to get to the bush with the car on the ramp as it cant be done from inside?

Inside job, from what I could see. Remove the lower dash fascia to get to the shifter, remove holding plate, weather gasket and you can see your driveway The shifter sits in a little tealight shaped holder held in by a snap ring, uncouple the bolt that holds the shifter to the transmission, remove snap ring and then pull out shifter, from what I could see.
