loose shifter
i cannot figure out what could the problem be , ive replace the bushing that goes around the ball on the shifter but it stills swings side to side alot ..

Re: loose shifter
The shaft that comes out of the tranny, where the Linkage slides on. Do you have a bolt slid through that with a nut on the other side? If so this will cause the shifter to be loose and flop around even when its in gear. If you have done the bolt with nut method. The cure is to do it the "right way" and use the "Spring Pin"(IE: Bitch Pin).

your shifter bushings can be in great shape but still have side to side play if the spring pin does not fit snug into the shaft
i have this problem too and i have my spring pin in. the only way i thought of remedying it was to boring it out to a larger diameter and using a nut/bolt like stated above

Re: loose shifter
not too much involved w/ the shifter assembly...probably did a half *** job putting it back together. Mine had lots of play side to side and up and down. Got the basic energy poly shifter bushings from an auto-parts store and the other oem bushings that hold the shifter ball in place from honda. Both sets cheap cheap cheap, and shifting is buttery smooth. Go back thru and double check your work.

Re: loose shifter
i bought the car with this problem . im most likely gonna do both ways , since it does look like the shifter needs new bushing anyways .
