Skunk 2 Shifter
I just got my Skunk 2 Dual Bend short throw shifter installed. The feel is great I also got new bushings as well from suspension tech. I got one question. The shifter itself wobbles while in gear. It doesnt move a lot, but it still moves. Anything i can do to solve this? Thanks.

Re: Skunk 2 Shifter (USDMDC2)
mine did that when i had it installed, most likely the bolts at the end of it.. Are you using stock bushing or aftermarket?

Aftermarket bushings. I got the Skunk 2 Deal from MPI. Got it installed. It was all good. Now it wobbles while in gear. Here is the things i got:
Weird. Its in my 91 Integra and i have the dual bend shifter with bushings. Thanks.

That shifter bottom is the same thickness as the ones for a Civic. I wish more companies would make a shifter dedicated to Integras only, where it's wider.
So far, I think only Neuspeed makes one from what I've researched.

Yea Since I put my ES bushings in my 99 GSR the shifting is really solid but the shifter moves around a lot in gear. I would love to tighten that play up.

Re: Skunk 2 Shifter (J's 94 Accord)
The Skunk2 shifter should come w/ a spacer that takes up the extra space on the bolt. That way it can be used in either Civics or Integras. The spacers that came w/ my generic short-throw weren't thick enough, so I used washers to take up the rest of the space on the bolt, and 1 lock washer to keep everything pressed together and tight, so no rattles. I've had it over 2 years and there is only maybe 1/4" side-to-side play while in gear, and ZERO rattles whatsoever. Shifts are very short and precise. Can't beat that for $40
