Seems like you need to re-center the shifter and make sure all the bolts are snug.. If you have the stock shifter, you just need to loosen everything, press the neutral lock pin down, tighten it up to 22 lb ft per the service manual, then pull the neutral lock pin back up.
An aftermarket shifter will not have the neutral lock pin, you just need to use an applicable substitute (drill bit, punch, etc..)

There's lots of treads on this issue over the years, so search is your friend here. It's not really too difficult a job.
