So I bought my 1ga with a very sloppy Shifter. I bought the 10 dollar each bushings because that's what came up when I searched. I went to install them and they looked fine.
Found a ton of play on the shifter cup bushing, mostly because it ran away from home and was covered in pubes.
My cables have a little forward play and the end of the one cable I filmed sort of flops around.
Can someone tell me what I need besides the shifter cup bushing ?

MB307949 -- that is the bushing that goes in the cup you show first that is clearly missing.
MB484115 -- that is a "stopper" that goes on the passenger side of the gearshift lever. It should help to greatly reduce the front and back play you are experiencing. Hard to see it in the video but it is missing as well.

My two cents.
 
Do note that the OP has a '90 (at least, according to the video title) so the second link -- by JNZ's own admission -- will not work.
 
Thank you sooooo much. I won't even drive the car in fear of ruining the transmission
 
Thank you for all your help. Dealer ordered them. Coming tomorrow. I have no idea what that shifter stop is so thank you for pointing it out.

Are the ends on the shift cable replaceable on the shifter side ?
 
I replaced all the bushings I could in my '90 and it made a world of difference. It feels like new again. You are going to be happy after rebuilding it!
 
The stopper goes on this dowel ?

The bushing was stuck down in the sleeve. I got it out and it looked exactly the same as the new one but replaced it anyway.

Shifter should be fixed :) thank you all for your help.

E brake is hanging on the passenger side so no test drives yet
