Re: Sloppy shift linkage at the transmission

I believe that GM designed the loose fit to prevent binding due to misalignment between the transmission selector and the frame attachment point. As you drive the transmission moves due to the rubber mounts which changes the alignment.

On my Burban there is a forward/aft misalignment of the transmission selector and the frame mount.

Just some thoughts to consider.
