it wasn't torqued down during the install. just get under the car and torque it down.

 

You are terrible at explaining your problem. What do you mean, 'look for my gears' ? Your shifter has play?

there are only 2 bolts to be tightened up.crawl under the car and u will see them.and also FYI. LS and GSR shiftlinkages are the same
or there is another situation that happened to me once,exactly the same problem that u encounter now....u got the seal boot installed upside down.what i mean seal boot is number 11 in the pic shown below or u are missing number 8 in the pic shown below

this is not his case.

#11 was upside, you wouldn't be able to put the shifter in, and even if you can, it would be clear as day that it's wrong.

and part #8, yeah, if that was missing it would be nearly impossible to drive your car. i had this break one time so i should know.

 

i had the same issue
just go under the car and start wiggling parts of your linkage around, there should be NOTHING that "wiggles"

i fixed mine with a series of well placed washers.

 

Did you use a "Bitch Pin" I know people say you can shove a bolt in there and it will feel tight but it will never be as good as a bitch pin. Make sure all your bolts are tightened, Maybe your bolts that hold the linkage to the body fell out, there two 12mm bolts. Goodluck

 

solved the problem yet ?

looks like the people who did the swap shoved a del sol linkage in there. along with the rubber boot a plastic ring is shot. the bushing for the stabilizer bar is what really broke and was making the shifter sit on the exhaust.

i am currently in the process of reparing.

 

well like phil said the guy who did my swap put in a short shift linkage.. and its not in dead center of the hole of the body and my rubber boot was gone.. phil put in a new one and tighen down the bolts and wala!! but im still pist at the fact that i have a short shift linkage and i get alot of hot air in my car...
