I can be in gear and still my shifter will move all over the place. I dont know what the hell is wrong with it but its starting to bother me. DO I need a master bushing kit or something. when I had my evo shifting was stiff and same with my old civic. any suggestions?

yeah, mine is rather loose, and moves slightly in some gears - mechanic that drove my car said probably bushings.

This is what you guys need. Search around for DIY and put those in. I had the exact same problem... I was used to it but anytime I let someone drive my car they stalled it because it moved so much and was so loose while in gear that they thought it was in neutral. It feels so nice and tight with these. If you plan on getting a short shifter this would be a good time to do it since you have to take the shift linkage apart.

All Ek civic shifters are like this. A nice shifter is one of the very few things I miss from my toyota days.

Replace your stock shifter with a good aftermarket (I recommend Skunk2 Dual-Bend) and the bushings as recommended above.

X2 Skunk 2 also have nice heavy shift ***** which make shifting much more comfortable than other brands that use cheap aliuminum *****.

if ur bushings rnt worn out just tighten the bolt that goes through the bottom of ur shifter the tighter u go the tighter the shifter sits. i spent like 45 minutes getting mine right but if u have bad bushing and a stock shifter go for the skunk2. im rocking a B and M and i like its its heavy like the skunk2 and its low and short.

Either bushings, or check your bitch pin.
If that thing has even the slightest amount of play in it it will magnify HUGELY into the shifter.

ha this is F*@#ing amazing. I jacked the car up to see if I needed to tighten anything up and the nut was missing from the shift linkage bolt. all this time and the SOB never fell out. It aint comming off now Unless the two lockwashers I used discinigrate. lol
