New owner 1800ES - M41 shifter question 1800 1972

After a Volvoless year and a half, I picked up a 1972 1800ES from Ontario and am getting to know the car and its quirks. The first thing I'd like to address is the buzzing M41 shifter - the knob is securely screwed onto the metal shifter, but there's a lot of play where the shifter attaches to the gearbox selector rod. I want to verify the steps before proceeding - is this correct: Remove carpet trim, remove 4 attachments holding the boot to the tunnel, remove boot (does it just pull up?)...then is there a set screw or something that holds the shifter to the gearbox? Seems like the shifter will rotate around and never fully tighten.

This car was owned for 13 years by a member of the Canadian Volvo Club named Greg Moisley...I'll post a photo, curious if anyone reading this can fill in any gaps in the car's history (I know it's a long shot).

More questions to come...Thanks

Zack
