Instant short shifter ! (Shifter problem)
92 Hatch, B16A2, Cable tranny.
So, I was leaving work this morning, and there was this chick ahead of me. She was in a prelude. As we exited the parking lot we both got on it in 1st. (BTW I could have EASILY passed her).
Anywho, When I went to shift into 2nd, The shifter just dropped. It dropped low like I put a short shifter in there. I was like WTF?
I pulled it up and stuck it in 2nd, went into gear and I continued home while holding the shifter up in between shifts.
I parked in front of my house, shut the car off, put in to N, and let go. BONK ! it just dropped.
I all ready needed a new clutch because it was real mushy feeling...now its worse. But I dont know if this is related to the clutch.
Thanks !

Re: Instant short shifter ! (EG_Civic_Si)
make sure you have that metal plate that goes over the rubber. that holds teh shift linkage to your frame. the 2 bolts should first go through the metal plate, then through the rubber, then through your frame and then to the nuts to fasten the whole thing down.
i forgot to put the metal plate back once and my shifter fell low too.
