    I just replaced the bushing on my auto tranny shifter link, it helped alittle there is no more slop underneath the truck, so my guess it is internally there is sloppy wiggle on the shifter. my question is what should i replace internally to tighten up my shifter? Its a sr5 4x4.

    You mean that it wiggles when there is torque on the engine? All of them do that. If you mean that you grab it and it wiggles around, no Idea.

    There are two pivot points underneath the shift lever that uses bushes to avoid wiggle. This bushes disintegrate with the use, causing this problem. Replace the four bushes and its fine.
