Thanks for the ideas- dissassembled the shifter this weekend and discovered that the bushing and fiber washers had disintegrated at the joint forward of the shift lever, creating lots of play, also, had interference with a washer I had installed below the nylon ball that sits in the cup at the base of the shift stalk!--was hitting the reverse lock-out plate--my bad! --had done this due to the ball repeatedly falling apart (and out). Installed a small retaining ring below the ball and that did the trick!. Thanks.
