Hi everyone.

Searched this forum but cannot find a definitive answer. I have a 2011 (61) V60 2.4 D5. I’ve just bought it, 142k miles. My gear lever has lateral play which feels like it is a worn bush or in the gearstick mechanism. It gets all the gears but is not precise to use and you can tell something is worn out somewhere.

Any advice on the location of the issue? Will it be in the lever or the cable ends on the box? Or both?

To clarify on my box reverse is down and to the right.
Any advice appreciated. Happy to tackle it as the car is mint and worth keeping right. Knowledgable people on here must’ve been down this road before!
