I have a 1986 SE manual 4 speed, and it has issues with keeping the backup/reverse light on. Meaning, I can shift it into reverse; all the way over to the left and up... yada yada. As soon as I release the stick it will jump to the right about an inch and, no more reverse light. Anyone have any troubleshooting advice?

If you pull the console under the shifter off you will see the arm for the reverse gate and there is a white plastic switch under it.
Put the shifter into reverse and adjust the switch and or the arm to turn the lights on.

I did my best at adjusting the switch, but now the shift assembly is really soft. Have any ideas about fixing that?

I've got that same issue with my reverse gear/light too. Just happen to have my console off. nice post, thanks for the heads up.
If it is soft, Check for loose shifter bolts or worn/missing bushings.
