I have a T&T 5 weight rod and the cork handle had some play in it.  It will acutally twist about a quarter inch both ways and you can feel this when you cast.  It has twisted enough that my fly keeper is  pointing "up" instead of down.  Any ideas on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated!!

A T&T with a loose cork grip?!?  Don't EVEN attempt to fix it yourself!  Send it back to them!  You could void any kind of warranty in one fell swoop, by trying to fix what is thought to be a small problem.  You paid big bucks for that rod ... you deserve better.

Lord, give me patience, and give it to me RIGHT NOW!!

Send it back. At their prices the rods should be flawless and you shouldn't have to worry about this sort of crap.
