I'm trying to get rid of all the slop in my shift and have replace the base plate bushings with washers and I'm going to tackle the shifter's ball bushings and sideplate bushings part #6 and 9 (the yellow flat ones), to try and rid the slop since I can't afford the 4 bidden shifter I'm gonna get a new one of these from honda and let everyone know how it goes.



here is my first write up.

what else can wear out on these things?

 

where does that **** go? lol....i sip tied my cable ends where it connects to the actual shifter and i have minimal play...i love how it feels now....zip ties

 

so you tied the 2 cables tighter together near the shifter? does this work? I'm thinking when you shifter it from left to right the zip tie will get loose and then tight again? if you get what i mean....

 

btw matty c let us know how this works... i guess it means your taking the shifter apart? some pics would be nice....

The part one of your mod was great... will be looking forward to how part 2 turns out!!

 

I'm getting ready to order the parts anything else I should get that can wear out?

im gonna try to get them tonight....but no promises..

 

There's a rubber bushing where shifter cable connects to the shifter. Replace that with a metal bushing or a needle bearing. I used a needle bearing with my 4bidden shifter. Most of the slop is gone. Just gotta find metal pieces to replace my shifter plate bushings.

 

That might VERY slightly reduce the front/back but unless your stock bolt was really worn or something (not likely), it shouldnt have made much of a difference at all.

Most of the "slop" comes from the square piece that goes in the bracket on the left side. The ball portion of my shifter is designed a tad larger than stock to fit tighter inside that square pressure fit piece to try and reduce slop as much as possible.

 

I would like to see where the zip ties go?

i put the zip ties where the cable connects to the shifter....so it puts pressure on the cable against the shifter and basically wont let it "play" so much and reduces most of the slop.... i love the way my shifter feels compared to my friends shifter in his DC2

 

does all of this only work in 4th gens or can it be done in 5th gens?

-4bidden shifter avail for 5th gens?
-zip tie set up, can i do it for a 5th gen?

 

^^^ answer to #1
