Sloppy shifting 1982 911

You might want to check your shifter bushings, especially the ball cup shift bushing

Also the shift coupler, which is in the panel on the center tunnel, just in front of the rear seats. That coupler should be rebuilt or replaced if the bushings are worn.

yeah im thinking your rear coupler bushings are crumbling, its about 20 bucks worth of parts for that and the donut and cup bushing, will get you going while you look at JR's options for long term solution.
