Jim,
Had the same issue with my tranny. I purchased a replacement shifter rod assembly from Patrick Motorsports when the orig one whacked the new headers I put on. The interesting part is that the rod came with a slightly oversize bronze bushing that required a little filing on my part to fit in the tranny console. The bushing is held in with an e-clip. No slop at all left now, and my old shift rod fit the interior hole in the bushing. Don't know if they will sell you just the bushing, but it's worth a call.

My apologies to Dave and Wayne here, wish this little doodad were more widely available, the plastic one I bought (before I discovered the header problem) swam around in the hole big time. Maybe there's a market for a "premium" bronze shift bushing set similar to what was done for the pedal cluster. Would tighten up the shift pattern big time!
