That coupler is definitely serviceable. My 68 had a similarly sloppy coupling. You can get replacement bushings. I'd get the 914 ones as the holes are round and not oblong so less slop. On mine the shaft was really frozen into the housing so tightly I could not punch it out and had to use a hydraulic press. I wasn't careful and ended up dinging the aluminum so I just bought a new coupler from our host. I think it was about $90 or so for a genuine Porsche part. Replacing this and the bushings in the shifter, my car now shifts great. You can get some fancy aircraft style coupler for 2-3x as much but I'm not sure they are worth the cost.
