Steering column slop?

[63RedFury]

Have a 69 Bee.And it has over 250,000 miles on it. It has an automatic column shift. The column has slop at the gear selector. May question what is loose or wore out in the column that causes this?

The fasteners might be loose. You would have to remove the steering wheel to tighten them.

Or maybe the pin that holds the shifter lever, pin or the collar's hole where they attach

The fasteners might be loose.

@khryslerkid what fasteners do you mean?

Have the same issue with my column. The lever is too loose, this i annoying and also does not indicate the gear position properly.

There‘s one allen wrench screw that should lock the collar to the shift tube (says the manual). See attached pic “Shift Tube Lock Screw“.

This should it be??!
