Lose gear shifter in my vs

[Jezze]

Hi everyone im new i recently bought a 1997 series 3 vs commodore ute with minor problems. one of the problems i have encounted is the gear shifter being lose and you cant feel when it shifts and the whole shifter spins in circles. does anyone know if there is a bolt that could have fallen out or that something could be wrong with the gearbox.

if its the getrag its a common thing.
bushes have worn out.

so either replace them.
put up with it.
or go a short shifter?

Why did you buy a car with problems in the first place???

its not a problem you can shift fine and the gearbox is smooth at shifting its just the stick spins around freely. i bought the car as a project i knew about it when i bought it im just not sure what to do to stop it i think a bolt might have fallen off at the bottom of the shifter. does anyone have a diagram to show what might need fixing.
