Could be your shift bushings on your column. My shifter was very loose and sloppy. I checked the teo small torx bolts under the column that normally come loose and they were tight. The column bushings were around six bucks and very easy to swap out. Just remove the clan shell and lower the column buy removing the four bolts that hold it up. I lowered the column so the steering wheel rested on the seat. After I replaced the bushing the slop was about 90% gone so there still may be some wear where the shifter mounts into the column but that's for another day. Feels much better, before it felt like I was going to break the shifter forcing it to move.
The second pic shows the new bushings in place, just have to put the caps over and bolt them down.
