Mostlikely the bolt that tightens the shifter to the shaft got loose which cause the shifter to have slack and eventually strip the splins in the shiftlever and/or the shaft.

I think its something like a 12mm socket and turn it to the right. It should be free

you might have stripped the splines if so you need a new shifter shaft won't be to expensive if you can work on it yourself
