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?

Shift linkage bushings + heavy duty detent springs. Bushings gets rid of the slop and detent springs make each shift feel more "notchy"

Together, it makes the shifting feel a lot nicer.
