Gear Stick Selector is a sounding loose

Yesterday, while I was driving I noticed that the gear selector stick sounded and felt a bit loose between R and N? Anyone experienced this? Is there anyway of tightening anything?

What do you mean by loose? Wiggle room between the gears or does it slip too easily from one to the other?

Same as what joeray said. Only I have no warranty and wanted to know if it was easy for me to fix? And also slips to easy between R & N

Among other things you probably need a shifter bushing
