    Ok, my shifter has gotten super sloppy lately. It goes into gear and out just fine, so it's nothing with the gates. As i wiggle the shifter tho, i can see it wobble around on the top of the rod that comes out the top of the trans. Is there a bushing or grommet that goes where the shifter mounts to the top of the trans rod (like a ball and socket set-up maybe?). Just wondering. it's an eaton 13spd

    There is a rubber isolator in the bottom of the stick.

    It sounds like the isolator to me as well. Changed one on one of my Western Stars and added one to my old Ford (it didn't have one).

    The shifter ball has a key way in it, they get worn usually from people driving with there hand on the shifter, I needs to be removed it can be done thru the shifter boot, and welded up and all will be great, might need a new Key as well.
    A gasket and a key a little welding and cut with a high speed cutter. They come apart from the inside.
    Just a thought!

    Isolator x 3 . Question is, which SOX? Red or white? I'm guessing red, being crimson is already one of your favorite colors.
