It appears that some loctite love is in your immediate future. I'm far too much of a realist to be a silver linings guy, but it does appear that there's an alternate perspective available here. If you had never pulled the transmission cover off and allowed the shifter to move around enough to telegraph the problem, one day you might have had the lever pop off in your hand and be waving it around the cab wondering what to do with it. Be okay if it was stuck in drive but if it was in reverse it might be a different story.
