loose lever, shift rod
#2
I just fixed mine up a coupla months ago. New shaft as the wear areas were worn way undersize, new bushings in the housing and new rod ends.
I bought the bushing from Dennis Kirk. Problem is, you need two. Didn't figure that out till it arrived. Other problem is that they're plastic. Plastic ones would still probably last a long time, but I didn't like it. I have a lathe in my garage, so I bought "oilite" bushing stock (amazon) and made my own full length bushing. Good snug fit, much better feel.
You'll need a bushing driver to remove and install

Which lever is loose? The one in the front or the one in the rear that attaches to the shift shaft. If it's the front lever then, yes, follow the advice above. If it's the rear one you'll have to remove the inner and outer primary and replace the lever. They do wear out over time. The last time I did one the part cost me $27 at the dealer. The job's a bit of a pain but it isn't complicated. The only real tricky part is getting the compensator torqued correctly.
