I had a problem with a sloppy shifter on TH manual.
I opened the console and noticed that the nut on the shifter was loose and the whole bolt and nut were turning when I moved the shift lever. The arrowed nut was rotating (with the bolt) when the shifter was moved.

Tightening the nut did not last - only caused the shifter to bind if overtightened.
The fix was to swap the plastic housing, nut and bolt for a spare one that was less sloppy.
