WTF is a Piston?..Anyone?
dude just take your shifter off from the tranny there is a clip in there it acts as a spring to center the shifter just re attach that. good to go. its a silver clip. looks almost like a paper clip and it slides into the front of the shifter there is a slot for it.

I have replaced both the clip and the bushings (actually the bushings were just gone when I opened it, I'm worried what other hack jobs my poor car has seen before I got her) I would say just the bushing should fix it.

That's what caused mine the most trouble - the plastic bushing that the bottom of the shifter was gone.
