u prolly need to replace the collar, o-rings, washers etc...that would be numbers: 3, 4, 5, 25 and 13...u might be able to clean up number 13 and just get some new o-rings for it...the B&M short shifter kit comes with all the new bushings to tighen up that assembly

Cynical beat me to it, but he has your answer. Another member (ryanhook) had the same problem as you. He replaced all of the little parts at the bottom of the shifter and it took away all of the play in his shifter. You can get everything you need from your local Honda dealer. Just print out a copy of that diagram.
Parts #25 are rubber and wear out. And #3, 4 and 5 are plastic if I remember correctly. They become brittle and fall apart.

cynikal got it. i got my parts from proparts but i screwed up on my install and broke an important piece. i'm going to have to take the shifter out to get part number 3 in. it's a tight squeeze and i broke it by trying to hammer it in. i was in the same situation, i replaced those 2 bushings but there was still play. then i just held the shift linkage and moved it around to see where else the play was in. try it urself and see.
