while I drive, my shifter nob moves around and wiggles, also it can be a little bit tough to change gears. Is this a transmission problem?

I had the same problem, but this part fixed it for me

Start dismantling and see if you can see that part, it's right below the shifter so doesn't take too much work to see. You'll be able to see if that's the issue or not.

Did you actually order the part from this site, or was this just a reference?
