okay my friend has a 99 ex and i have a 95 ex and i drove his car and it shifted different than mine, i thought it was just cuz it was a different year then my other friend just bought a 94 civic ex i drove it and it shifted the same as the 99, in gear it the shifter is moves a lot it almost feels like its in nutral, but the other cars it bearly moves in gear, and the way it feels when you are actually pulling down the shifter to shift gears feels a lot smoother in there cars, is it supposed to be like that or what

thanks
tony

And mine as well

 

i replaced the brushings, so is it the linkage then? thats alruight cuz i got a short throw to put in, how much do those run from a junk yard

 

can the linkage its self go bad? or would like the brushings be bad? cuz i put new ones in, energy brushings or w/e. i just want to know if i should go buy a new linkage or would that not help

 

i put es shifter bushing and my shifter moves a lil while in gear

 

The slop of the shifter has a lot more to do with the "bitch pin" and how tightly it's in place than the condition of your bushings. Bushings contribute to the solidity of shifts and the precision of the movement from gate to gate.

 

well what do you think the prob would be if when i have it in gear, it moves side to side like its in neutral

 

I had that problem in my integra...I had the wrong shift linkage. Not sure if that is any correlation to your problem, is your car stock?

 

bushings/"bitch pin", etc could all be your prob get under there and see what moves when someone else moves the shifter.....

 

mainly stock just like i/e/ and about to be header then i have a short throw i need to put in but ill have to check it out this weeksometime
