shifter linkage

Having trouble with shifter not going into park. The linkage is sloppy. Is there a bushing kit or something to tighten up the linkage?

Lay under the driver's side dash. Look up the steering column. There are two #30 Torx bolts that connect the bracket for the shift cable to the shift tube. They tend to loosen and even fall out. Tighten these bolts and it should work fine again.
