On the bottom of your steering column, there are two torx bolts that work loose. They attach the bracket the shift cable snaps on, to the tube on the shifter column. I put lock tight on the bolts so they don't work loose again. Hope this helps.

Otherwise if it is not the bolts, you most likely need to replace the plastic bushings in the shifter line on top of the column.
