If you are handy, a lot can be done to tighten up the shifter.
One can install sleeves into all the pivot bolt holes. It's best to have a machine shop bore the holes for accuracy. Bronze sleeves would be nice, but steel or hard brass will work for many miles. I used hard brass and lubed everything with wheel bearing grease.
Replacing the trunnion may help but the ball ends of the shafts inside the trunnion are usually worn. You can sleeve the trunnion and bore for larger pins to eliminate excessive slop.
Also check the rubber bushings at the transmission mounts. These are available from Delta Motorsports.
Pete's certainly not getting rich from providing this service! He is an engineer IIRC and I expect his rebuilds will far outlast my shadetree efforts.
