1987 3.0 Alpha one. Is this normal for the shift shaft to have this much play in the bushing?

Yes , that is the upper housing .The splines on the lower shift shaft , so to speak will line up with the upper one and hold the one you say is loose

I just thought since there was a bushing in the upper case the diameter of the shift shaft would be close to the size of the bushing.
What is the bushing for then?

Thanx
