Thread: shifter

i've got a 98 se with the sr20. the car goes into gear fine but when i have it in gear, i can move the shifter back and forth a good amount. i've got a 98 xe with the ga16 that when in gear has very minimal play. any thoughts?

I would start with checking all the linkages and the bushings and go from there...

Definitely check the linkages

i'll check em tonight. thanks guys!

probably shifter bushing

so the shift control rod where it's circled has a nut and bolt through it and that metal part that the bolt is through is loose as hell. the bolt itself is tight but that part is extremely loose and is letting the shifter move back and forth. any suggestions?

it should have plastic insert/bushings on it so theres no play .I have a spare setup here with bushings if you are interested,but they should be cheap.
Should go ahead and do the front shifter bushing too while you are in there with the ES one

i can't seem to find where to buy it at. how much are you looking to get for it? or do you know where i can get em?

I have never really looked,but if you want,I will ship you a whole assembly for 25 bucks .Its basically that pivot part with the bushings.
I am sure GregV can get the bushings new by themselves too,I just happen to have a couple spare parts around here from parts cars.
I may even have a spare ES front shifter bushing here,too...but they are readily available on ebay

I wonder why ES did not make this bushing as well
