this is for a 96 civic DX....d16y7 engine/tranny, all stock

i have a problem. the shifter flops around like crazy left and right, even when in gear, but goes into each gear fine. it seems like the invisible 1-2-3-4-5-R gate is missing (if you dont know what im talking about, look at a lambo shifter gate>>>http://image.importtuner.com/f/edito...shift-gate.jpg. i ordered a bushing kit from energy suspension thinking it was that, but now that i get under the car i see it is clearly not. is the problem inside the tranny? or do i need a new shifter assembly? thanks all. there is a third possibility, i got the wrong kit. but i doubt that. its the 3 piece kit from energy

thanks all

same **** happens to mine.. i got the shifter bushings and nothing changed i think its the bitch pin that holds the linkage on to the tranny but im not 100% on that

yeah man im gonna go look at that right now, every so often i have a rattling coming from the tranny (i think, it comes and goes) do you have that to?



....anyone else with the problem?

you guys might want to make sure that the shifter ball isnt worn. and also replace the SEAT(bushing), CHANGE LEVER BALL (part# 22868).
i had this problem with my em1 shift linkage. replaced the bushings w/ energy poly's and replaced the bitch pin and still had the problem. i pulled the lever and realized that my shift lever ball had worn excessively. i replaced w. a s2 lever and put in a new ball seat/bushing and it solved the problem. goodluck!
