sloppy auto column

Anyone here have a clue as to what makes the shifter on the column get sloppy on a automatic. Kinda scary with the chance it could drop into reverse. Any cideas for the fix here or am I doomed to replace the whole column.

Is it the shifter mount on the column? Or down in the linkage bushings? Or does the whole inards of the column move around?
