I drove to work today, and had a shifting problem at the end of my trip. It became hard to find the gear positions, and when in gear the stick stays very loose. I can actually wiggle it about 4 inches side to side while in gear. Could something be loose? Hopefully I can get home before totally loosing shifting ability.
