If the transmission gear shifter on your 1999 S10 is loose, it may be due to worn or damaged bushings, a loose mounting bracket, or a faulty cable connection. Inspect the shifter assembly for any visible wear or play, and check the attachment points for tightness. If necessary, replace worn parts or tighten any loose components to restore proper function. If the issue persists, consider consulting a mechanic for further diagnosis.
If you notice that your gear shifter is loose, you should immediately stop driving the vehicle and have it inspected by a professional mechanic. Driving with a loose gear shifter can be dangerous and may lead to further damage to the transmission.

A loose gear shifter in a Dodge Stealth could be caused by several issues, such as worn or damaged bushings, a loose shifter linkage, or even a problem with the transmission itself. It's important to inspect the shifter assembly and linkage for any signs of wear or misalignment. If needed, tightening or replacing these components can help restore the shifter's stability. If the problem persists, consulting a mechanic may be necessary for a more thorough diagnosis.
Check the linkage from the gear selector (shifter) to the transmission. It may have come loose. If it's intact, check your transmission fluid level. If this doesn't fix the problem, then you'll have to have it towed to the shop.
I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
In a manual transmission car, the gear shifter is used to change gears by moving it into different positions. When the driver moves the gear shifter, it engages or disengages different gears in the transmission, allowing the car to shift to a higher or lower gear ratio. This helps control the speed and power of the vehicle.

Typically the interlock with with the brake pedal has failed, also the transmission shifter linkage could be loose and jammed. You may be able to remove the shifter cover and see the interlock and manually move it aside so you can get vehicle to a shop. The interlock makes sure you do not put vehicle in gear without the brakes on.

Additionally, low transmission fluid levels or issues with the transmission itself could also contribute to unusual sounds. It's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle for an accurate diagnosis.
