Re: automatic shifter has play
Its most likely the bushings in the shift lever at the bottom of the column and at the transmission.

Re: automatic shifter has play
If you look at the linkage closely under the truck, you will see the problem. The "bellcrank" (for lack of a better word) wears in a couple of spots, as does the part that rides against the "bellcrank" and attaches to the transmission shift shaft with 1 nut. They are no longer available to buy new, so I took both of mine out and carefully welded up the worn spots, then ground them a bit for a good fit. It made a HUGE difference. I hope that makes sense.
