After the swap was done I noticed that, unlike my Accord, when you put the car in first gear you can still wiggle the shifter back and forth like it is in neutral. There is no problems with it popping out of gear or anything but on my accord when it is in gear you cant move the shifter side to side hardly at all. Can anyone tell me what i should be looking at?

 

shifter bushings or bolt maybe loose

 

get some new shifter bushing they are 10 bucks, but they are always gunna move, the linkage setup does that

 

i can get these at any auto parts store right? and would i be looking for bushings specifically for a 5th gen EG or are they universal?

 

they are specifically for a 5th gen, but i dont think you'd be able to get them at a parts store, maybe i'm wrong i got mine from summit cause they are right near me lol

 

ah i see, i'm only fortunate enough to have autozone and pepboys

 

Pick up some energy shifter bushings...it helps.

 

also, these bushings can be changed without moving the exhaust around right? I havent looked under the car yet to check this out

 

Yeah you can work around the exhaust. Try ordering them from http://www.inlinefour.com, that's where I got mine.

 

thanks

 

i had the same problem

it was cuz i had a bolt n screw where the (bitch-pin) pin should have been'

got the pin from my acura dealer, put it on and it was back to normal.

 

i'll check that too, as soon as i get home i'm gonna raise the car up, i'm just assuming its the bushings at this point, thanks
