[V8] V8 Shifter Play

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I'd suspect that ball at the end of the shifter lever where it meets the
tranny. Had sloppy shifter on the 200q20v and (IIRC on the V8). These things
get wobbly after a time and the metal is softer than it should be.  If you
can remove it and are good with a ball-peon hammer, you'll take car of the
slop.  Kinda like a rerivet ;-)

5-speed's shifter seems quite sloppy.  I have no problems shifting up or
down the range, but it just seens like it should/could be tighter.
