column shift linkage

I have a 74 F-250 with a C6 tranny. The problem I have is the column shifter has alot of slop in it. You can move it about a half inch in both directions when in a gear. I haven't tore it apart yet but am guessing that it is just wore out.

I have looked for a new column shifter but haven't found one. What are my options? Find one at a junk yard in better shape or could I try to fix this one somehow? Thanks for the help.

Go thru and isolate the slop at each point and replace parts or bushings as required.

If you have the wheel off look for the gear "sector" plate. It's a small plate with notches in it the a pin rides in.
