Check the set screw at the shifter lever.  The set screw connects the
external shifter mechanism to the internals of the gearbox.  There is
also a "wishbone" that's part of the shifter mechanism which had a design
update, and I vaguely recall a bushing that might be worn out.   This was
on the 5KS, but should be similar to the Q.
