ok short shifter, replaced shifter stabilizer bushings, now the problem. shifter worked better than the day it rolled off the line...till emissions. the garage owner took my car in did the test, then parked it outside i went out after just BARELY passing..(P.S. if ur going for emissions, put about 2-3 shot glasses worth of 100%acetone in ur tank. thats wut got me through, anyways) now the shifter is really lose..goes into gear fine...but moves ALOT in nuetral, and way too much when in gear, any ideas? moves as in i can shake it.

 

it will move a little no matter what. but check to make sure the bushing are fine.

 

check the bushins on the tranny

and also righ by the shifter

(on the shift linkage)

mine does the same

 

how much does it move? im talkin its goes atelast 5 inches lef tor right while in gear and nuetral is ridiculous all the bushings seem to be fine...i cant figure it out

 

bump

 

I know the answer because I'm good like that.

In my Sedan my shifter has such much side to side play it is funny; I'm talking you can take out people's knees when you go over to fifth.

hmmm im noticing a pattern, this is the second time you've bailed me out lol. thanks dr_latino. any chance u sould show me where this bushing is? and how to change it?

 

Well the alternative name for this bushing is the whole shift linkage.

The bushing is circled in red, the whole shift linkage (#14) needs to be replaced and that's the part number I provided.

 

ok, im surprised its thats cheap. thanks for your time

 

Same thing I said when I saw the price, I pitty the swap people who have to dish 130+ for these things.

ok so if thats for the linkage, how much just for the bushings?? are just the bushings replaceable instead of the whole linkage?? that explains why mine is the same way as sohc_mnstr...

 

i have this same problem riht now and its cuz the previous owner rigged my linkage up with a screw and not the bitch pin. the screw is smaller than the size of the hole so i gots lots of play in my shifter. the pin may have fallen out on yours?

ok thanks for telling me that lol. i havent done much with hondas yet, just a tranny swap that the tranny failed on me, and a mpfi swap. so the linkage piece as a whole is 35 bucks, that isnt to bad of a deal. but im sure someone has a good one that they no longer need because they went to a b series....ill have to hunt for one then. thanks.

Thats it?i use to get 50 mpg in my d, i have gotten high 30s in the b16a with 14 psi

 

instead of creating another thread..how about i extend my issues in this one. when driving in any gear including nuetral i hear and feel a knocking underneath my clutch pedal. the sound goes away when i apply brakes. it only goes away when accelerating and braking. i was using the highway to get home and the car was shaking at highspeeds. my mechanic mentioned i need new axles soon, and my driver side axle popped out recently. could this knocking be a result of a bad axle?

 

yes but it would probably click onn tunring also ... is this also happeneing?

 

When my shifter was super loose I just rechecked everything and found that some things were kinda loose, tightend them up and it was perfect.

But this was also after buying brand new shift linkage and a new short shifter...

paid $110 or $120 for my shift linkage. Got mine off of Passwordjdm.com

 

i dont really notice it when im turning
