Hurst shifter box too much play?

Hey guys for some reason i just happened to notice today that the shifter has some side to side play when in gear, the play seems to be coming from the shifter box and it seems worse in 2, 3 and 4. It is tighter in 1st but still has a little bit of play side to side.
Any thoughts?
This seem normal?
Its a original hurst shifter and shift box. Cant remember if i rebuilt the box or if there are shims in there its been 3 years since the car has been done,
It may have always done this but i can't remember

Any info is much appreciated
