I have a REALLY really really Wobbly shifter, bud says might be bushings and so we looked at it..and it was really rusty down there. Should we try and tighten it to fix it? or can i buy like new parts for it? any ideas?

new bushings.. you can go aftermarket if you want like energy suspension bushings.. But yeah you can see if its loose down there first.. also check the boot to see if its ripped or not

that'll help but what will really help is a new spring pin for the linkage 2 bux at honda

naaa all you need is any cheap poly bushing and throw it in.. itd be tight no questions.

the bottom of the shifter where the linkage connects is probably more the cause then the bushings them selves. do the bushings when u do a shifter.

The bushings are cheap and easy to get at any performance car place, like $12-14

I bought a pair for my type r linkage last month. It's a 15 mins install

Hmmm so you guys think i should get a new Linkage and some new bushings? sounds like thats what its coming to 8)

I just fixed the same problem on my 97 hatch. I changed all the bushings (2 and the engine, and the one behind the shifter under the car) and problem solved. Got all the parts from Honda for a total of $35~ CDN.

u dont need to change the linkage.just do the bushings,but check the bolt at the bottom of the shifter first.but dont tighten it to much cause it will make it to tight and hard to move the shifter
