Man enters bar. Approaches tart sitting at said bar.
"Excuse me, miss. But can I have your pantyhose to fix my loose shifter cup on my 9-2-8."
New front shifter cup went in about 2-3 years back. It was the white plastic one.
The old one had a sliver of plastic rattling around the inside of the metal cup.

Well I've decided to go the "Macgyver" route to eliminate the slop. I will post photos if any one wants to see my modifications. Jim, now you can bust my chops for non Porsche approved modifications.

If the cup went on tight, then your issue is with the rear coupler.

Right- I installed a new cup, which had to be forcibly pressed onto the ball- then a 6" hose clamp loosely around the shaft @ the "flat-spot" - It's Money...
