Tx,

Novak's site for 4x4's has a good picture of various manual transmissions for comparison purposes. Each picture links to a more detailed description of each tranny.

This is often caused by a break in the hardened tip of the shift lever. This is the part just below the collar that holds the lever in the tranny cover. The lever is joined to a hardened steel cap that will break, but doesn't come apart, so it just gets sloppy. If you can wiggle the hardened tip, it's broken. GM still has the new ones. They even come in chrome, but they're pricey.

It makes a big difference in the slop.
