The baseplate can be changed to have bushings installed to lessen the clearance or the base plate and throttle shafts can be replaced together. Either way you have to get rid of the air leak at the shaft. The looseness will also prevent the throttle plates from closing properly and you will have an idle that sometimes is higher than others, and it may change after bliping the throttle. Just a worn shaft and base plate.
