Go with one of these, they fit pretty good and don't need to worry about it breaking again. If you loose the auction you can also get them from redline (sponsor on here) as the same guy makes em for them.

Is anyone else console loose near the top portion of it. I'm talking about the piece that has the hole for the shifter (not the base piece that actually screws on to the sides of the lower dash)

Right near the shifter plaque I can move that part about a quarter inch left to right and I am certain I tightened everything down.

Probably have a broken tab near the cup holder. You are talking about the "Upper Console" as they call it. It pulls off from the lower console and is not held on by any screws. Look for a used on on ebay or the forsale section here if you have some broken tabs. This is pretty common as with age the numerous amount of plastic pieces in our cars will break. Good luck.

Near the cup holder you say? I'll remove it and check again. The only reason I could see that nothing may be wrong at the cup holder area is due to the location of my issue vs where the cup holder is.

The upper console doesn't move anywhere else but at the very top part of it (where it meets with the dash/location of the shifter plaque)
