When in gear if the shifter has no play then it is just the Hurst shift design and is actually common. Mine did it badly at cruising speed and drove me nuts so I swapped to the B+M ripper which doesn't buzz.

There isn't anything you can do about it. A factory shifter has a dampner that prevents vibration, but does cause the shifts to be less crisp.

If the shifter feel loose when in gear then the problem could be the Isolator that TADriver is refering too. There is a small plastic "cup" that fits between the slider ( Offset cup) in the trans and the ball at the end of the shifter. Over time or hard abuse they can become worn and damaged.

Oddly, the T56 service manual states to inspect the Isolator and Offset Cut and replace if worn, BUT no one ( GM, Ford or MOPAR ) sells just the isolator any longer, if it's damaged you need to buy an entire factory shifter assembly to get the $3 part! I know of no aftermarket replacement.
