Put the car up on ramps or stands (securely!) & slide underneath. Have someone get in the car & work the shift lever. Engine NOT running. You watch the shift rod which comes out of the firewall, & goes into the transmission.
There's a coupling on that rod, near the tranny. If it's loose, slopply, coming apart, then you've found the problem!
There's a bushing where that rod exits the shifter box, an inch or 2 forward of the gearshift lever. If that bushing has gone bad, you'll see the shift rod move side-to-side, especially back where it goes into the firewall. The motion of that rod should be ONLY twisting & sliding fore-aft. It's not supposed to move side-to-side.
