Hey everyone! We just bought our 2003 Mazda Tribute DX, and we love it! We got (what we think) is a good deal on it, however there was one thing that gave me some pause during the test drive.

The manual gear shift lever seems to have some play while it is "in gear". This seems like a cosmetic issue, however i've heard it can cause problems down the road. Are there any resources that show how to fix this? I imagine it must be a common problem.

Anyway, thanks! Looking forward to the replies.
