Gearshift slop

What would cause excessive slop in the gear selector? Is there a common problem? I only ask because i find these these problems out last Minuite, and need a quick place to start. Thanks

As posted before the best place to start is to make sure the bolts holding the mechanism are tight. There are 2 bolts (torx I think) that loosen up.

I think Alloro has made a detailed post with pics regarding this not too long ago. It looks like a pretty easy fix.
