Loose automatic column shifter fix?

I would like to tighten up my shifter, it has a lot of play.
Thank you.

Take a look at this video and hope it is as easy as this...

Can you identify where the play is? Is the handle loose, the collar (it's riveted to the shift tube), the linkage down near the frame, etc?

The video is the first time I've seen how a later model kind of works but looks like they changed quite a bit.

But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

That is a completely different column, it is what I have in Darth. Your column is a shaft in a tube in another tube.

The slop seems to be where the shifter attaches outside the collar.
Thank you.
