Ok to start I just finished rebilding my b16a and it runs great but when I put the car back together I had excessive play in the shifter, I was pissed but replaced the bushings anyway. Now after 45 mins i finished replacing them and I still have the same excessive play, anyone got any good ideas? i made sure I tightened the bolts what the heck happend?

Is the "bitch" pin loose?
There is a pin on the end of the shift rod, close to the transmission, that if its not there will cause a lot of play in shifting.

Hmmm... Well the bitch pin was gone when I got the car there is a nut and bolt in its place... I have however been looking for a replacment pin

although i do not think this is the problem the bolt is pretty snugg in there

did u change the square bushing underneath the shifter as well as the ones inside of the shifter

i would put money on the bolt.a new bitch pin can't be that much at the dealer for a newone. usually a little play there causes alot of play on the end.
