wobbly gear stick

[navmk4gti]

drove my mk4 today from garage to check the suspension was ok as some of you know it was hit... when i brought it first the gear stick was wobbly... and now it is gone really bad i mean i can literally move it side to side even when its in gear .. it feels very very loose.. BUT it goes into gear fine ...

any ideas how i can tighten it up or if something has gone damaged or loose in it???  cus im getting the car back in the morning and its gna piss me off driven like that after all the work i got done to it... dont want a gear stick to put me off

I think he said it cost him £8.40 for the part.

Mine is a bit wobbly the thing that's concerning me most though is sometimes it's very tough to get into first gear, sometimes at traffic lights I end up really forcing it in when the lights change, makes a noise too. It's like there's lumps of coal jammed in it or something.
