You can buy the bushings and drop the column to replace them. Also inspect down where the shifter cable connects and make sure the bracket bolts on the end of the tube are tight. If they are loose put some Locktite on them. When you drop the column make sure that you have the shift indicator cable disconnected. Don't be surprised if the plastic cable bracket breaks. You can buy the indicator with cable pretty cheap. If the tube is damaged you can get the tube and bushings in a kit. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
