Default 5th and 6th are Phhhucked up

ALL STOCK tranny, shifter, etc. was fine and seemed pretty tight when i got it. I beat the **** out of it over the last 5k miles. I shifter wobbles all over the place now...in neatral and in gear. Feels as if the plastic shifter ball cup is broken and plastic fork pads broken as well. Car would hardly ever, no matter how hard you pushed, stay in 5th. Kinda happened over night actaully. Then my buddy missed 3rd too many times in a row and shifter felt bound up. Wouldnt go in to 6th sittin in drive, felt as if there was a stop, like reverse lockout. Yanked shifter around through the gears and freed it up finally. Now it barely goes into 6th, like 5th used to be, and 5th is easier to get into.

My shifter just feels as if its really loose and broken. I think the plastic cup being broken has caused the other 5th and 6th issues possibly. Not sure, need to take it apart still.
