My problem is my shifter is kind of loose; I can move it to the left or right.
I already did a search on this matter and one member mentioned about the shift bushing. anybody has a step by step or a diagram to show how to correct this. Much appreciated if you could offer some guidance. Thank you.

Might have just come a lil loose over time. This may help,,,,http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/body/shifter.html
Lots of DIY info here on this site.

yeah I saw that before but it has something to do with the top portion of the shifter but I think my problem is in the bottom portion of the shifter. Thank you for your help though.

Anybody has a shifter diagram? Thank you.

If you're referring to the black portion which is the shifter cover is moving back and forth, its very plausible that the four corners that hold it down have broken off (this is a typical in our cars). It would make it appear that shifter is loose.

I doubt the actual shifter itself is broken. I've checked it out, it's in there tight and less likely to move, unless you knocked it with a sledgehammer.

The black shift cover portion is not loose; there is something loose underneath the black cover that is holding the base of the shifter. The part (?) that is securing the base of the shifter is worn or something I guess. BTW, thanks for your response.

Hello, lexis, i am having the same issue with the shifter on a 90' LS400. Did you ever correct this problem? If so, How did you get to the bushing? I got the part from the dealer and would like to replace it.

I just leave it as is. It is still loose. I don't have time to deal with it. sorry.
