please define slop in diff, if you grab the yoke and turn it back and forth there is alot of slop? theen there excessive gear lash either between pinion and ring gear or from excessive wear on axle shafts, no tightening of the yoke nut will fix that.
whats the make and model of car/truck , fords and chevys do things a lot different under there , and the foreign cars are even weirder for there shifter mounts
The shift handle has a plastic bushing and metallic locks that holds it firmly and allow you shift the gears smoothly, so when this bushing or the has warned out, so the shift handle will develop a lot of slop, you may need to consider replacing it that kit.
Pry out bezel around shifter very carefully, remove clip/screw for shifter handle after pushing down small chrome cover on bottom of handle. Remove shifter cover (screws or clips hold it in place) to gain access to blub. 1/8 turn to left on socket and it is out
I have run into this problem a lot at work. When you put your car in park, try wiggling the shifter knob. To fix the problem for good, you will need to either replace the shifter handle or the entire assembly. You may want to call the nearest nissan dealership and have them run your vin number. Some Versa's have a recall that will replace that for you for free.
Check that as you move the shifter, that the shifting rods beneath are moving in tune with the shifter's position. If not, then your mechanism is faulty. It is almost certain that the issue lies with the external shifting mechanism. The issue may be just beneath the shifter lever, within the rubber or leather bag shroud. You might have to pull out the centre console to have a closer inspection.
clicking generally indicates failing wheel bearing, especially if the clicking frequency increases with vehicle speed. On the other hand if it generally clicks, when not moving, by moving the shifter from F to R and back, then you have slop in a CV joint.
If you are parked on a steep grade, the pressure on the transmission might make it feel stuck. It might take a lot of pressure to pull the handle out of park.
If that isn't it, try disconnecting the shifter from the transmission, then try to operate it. At least it will show whether the problem is in the transmission or shifter linkage. You DO have the key turned on and foot on brake while trying to get it out of park, don't you?
