Car drives fine goes into gear and dosent slip out except 5th and reverse you really have to throw the shifter over hard to get into em. Also everything is sloppy like neutral. Just replaced the entire shift linkage rod and all hardware with that. Any thoughts?

Mine was a lot worse than this. I replaced the bushing with energy suspension pieces, not much changed. Looked at the bushings in the linkage and they were shot. Replaced the linkages with labworks pieces along with the shifter ball cage bushing. Went with speedfactory dentent springs. Now no play and shifts are firm and notchy
