Shifter is extremely loose

[cno3117]

Hey, I have a 1987 Ford Bronco II with a manual tranny. I just took the shifter apart trying to find bushings that were shot or something like that. I ofund out on this site that i have a different tranny then the newer bronco IIs and i have a teflon ball. the ball itself is kind of scuffed up and scratched at the bottom, but the plastic box that covers where the shifter goes into, the area with the fluid, is broken. I think this may be the problem, but i have no idea because i dont know the name of that part. There is a plastic piece inside that box that looks like it directs the shifter where to go, but on the side closest to the trunk of the truck is broken. i could upload pictures if anyone needs to see them

update:
Its the shifter tower. Since i have an fm145 tranny, the shifter tower is plastic. I want to replace it but i cant find a single place that sells it http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/images/smilies/annoyed.gif

Did you get it recently? and did it tighten everything up with the shifter? how much did it cost?(thank you for helping, google didnt help at all.)
