after installing the obx shifter, i realized that there is a lot of play in the shifter (side to side motion) when i am in gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd…). does anyone know if this is normal, and if not, how do i go about tightening it up?

i used the one supplied by obx. is it smaller than the oem one? is that the reason for there being some play in the shifter?
