NC 1991 sloppy shifter problems

I just bought used 1991 rx7 convertible. when in 3rd gear the shifter wiggles around a little bit also when shifting from 3rd to fourth it will easily slip into 2nd. What's the best way to fix this and if I need a new shifter where can I find one

My entire shifter was really loose feeling when I got my car. I went to mazdatrix and ordered a shifter bushing kit. Easy to install and it solves this problem completely.

2nd post. Here's a direct link:
Cart Price Check Part:64-490B-FB01

It'll also keep your shifter from getting hot and stinking up the car with exhaust gas.
