Shifter has play after Clutch install
My shifter has a lot of side to side play in it even while in gear, and it's hard to get into second at times. It just feels loose and muddy for lack of a better term. Its a 2001 Z06. Never did this before. I just had a shop install a Mcleod twin disc RST so the clutch is not the issue. I am thinking maybe the shift linkage from the shifter in the console itself may be loose. Anyone that can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I did a search, but got nothing that can help my exact situation. Thanks in advance guys.
And before someone says take it back to the shop, they are a little ways away and if it's an easy fix I'd prefer to do it myself instead of drive all the way to Daytona.

I don't have any but once you get console off unbolt 4 10mm nuts to shifter boot and lift it up. Should see shaft to shifter flopping around towards rear of opening!

Ugh, here we go again. I got on the highway yesterday and noticed that it's tough to get into 6th now instead of 2nd. 2nd still sometimes is tough too, about 5% of the time. Is there a way to align the shifter back to stock specs? Like I said before there were no issues what so ever with shifting before I had the clutch install. Is there some way to measure where dead center is on the shifter? I know that it's causing the problem, my transmission only has 30 ish thousand miles on it and has never been abused. I may change the fluid too, would going to synthetic trans fluid help the longevity of it at all?
