Sloppy column shifter

My '95 automatic trans column shifter is sloppy. Didn't bother me too much until my daughter drove it. Now, I have to almost move it to Park to get it in reverse. I think she forced something and aggravated the problem. I dropped the column in my '93 to replace a broken shift tube a few years ago, so I'm familiar with the process, just wondering if anyone knew what parts I need so I can get them in advance. Thanks.

More than likely you have loose screws down near the floor board.
So you would need a T-30 tool.

I'd bet you need the shift tube & plunger. Get the bushings for the shift tube as well.
