Licoln Towncar, 1993, 150k mileage, V8-Automatic

Car drives fine, but shifter is really loose, and won't click into proper location. Exception if I go far left I get into reverse, and I go far right to get into drive. Other wise shifter loose, with no clicking through from far left to right. No trouble while it is in drive or reverse, but if I wanted to say get into Drive 1 I can't as the shifter is already far right as it will go and I am only in drive. Really hoping this is not a major transmission issue. Any idea on cost to fix?
-Note-Won't go into Park either.

Actually took me longer to get the panel off than tightening the screws. Worked like a charm. Only seemed to have one screw, looks like one might be missing. Any suggestions on where to find a replacement? Either way, much thanks, you saved a lot of time and probably money. Popped the T25 screwdriver in the glove box just in case it decides to act up later.
