Slop in the shifter is usually from worn shifter bushings. Replacing all the wear parts in the shifter would be the place to start.

the slop in the shifter is due to the plastic clips they use around the plastic shifter ball plus the shift linkage is only connected through one side of the shifter. T_____T like this, if you want to reduce the slop look at UUC's dssr and ssk, the slop bothers me as well but not enough to pay the big bucks on these.
