pull the shifter off and see if the plastic cup is broken before you buy anything, that much slop can be the nylon cup and would explain the grinding since it's not going all the way into gear

if it's not that then disassemble the shifter and check the bottom of the big silver chunk for damage, I saw one that the whole bottom where the "ball" rides chunked out so the shifter was shot and not rebuildable
