is your shift linkage still really sloppy? if it is, i think you should put the bitch pin back in it. also, i took mine off today and to see why i still had slop and noticed that the race around the shifter was destroyed. i also put spacers on both sides of the shifter before running the bolt thru it and the linkage. once i got it all back together, there was zero slope.
just a thought, cause i remember last time i got in it and wiggled the shifter it had a lot of play while in gear.
