Had the same and it was in the gear stick assembly. Not the linkages but slop in the ball the gearstick rotates in.

I removed the centre console and then the plastic retainer holding the lever down. Then cut a round piece of plastic about 25 thou thick to increase the thrust and stop the lever wobbling around. Did the trick and took all of the play out of the gear lever.

Easy to check - if you can lift the gear stick up and down then its lost its preload.
