$600 for a new shifter or for a unit professionally rebuilt by a toploader expert is money well spent, in my opinion. David Kee's Australian agent rebuilt my toploader and also my Hurst shifter...the box isn't yet in the car, but 'bench testing' the shifter, it has rifle-bolt precision and there is no 'slop' whatsoever. I have heard that the difference between a well set-up toploader shifter (Ford or Hurst) and one that needs refurbishing is - predictably - like chalk and cheese.

Cheers,
