This girl has a 98 EX Coupe, she just got a new top end on it a week ago, but when its in gear u can move the shifter back and forth like its in netural. u can do it in any gear. its really bad. no one knows what it could be so i was wondering if anyone on here would have any ideas.

 

worn synchros...not really much you can do without opeining up the transmission and replace them

 

not worn synchros some one probly put a bolt where the bitch pin should go or at the bottom of the shifter its loose

 

number 7 & 10 is what you need. i change mine yesterday.

change the bitch pin.. the pin that connect's the shiftting rod to the trans.

 

Im with 1990hf. I seriously doubt it is the bitch-pin. Depending on the mileage the 'seat' is prolly worn out. My car does the same thing, correct shifter pin, rebuilt trans with about 400 miles on it....200k on the chassis. Replace those and you will be golden.

 

i thought it was the bitch pin on mine but it wasn't. after changing # 7 & 10 it took care of the problem.

 

When you mean it moves as if it were in neutral, do you meet it moves from side to side in every gear?

 

the ej1 im about to buy does this, so is it shifter bushings?

what do i ask for at the parts store? does it matter that it has a short shifter?

 

just get the energy bushings thier like 12 bucks on e gay they will stiffen it up

 

close but if it was, when he\she would go to put it into gear it would make like a metal on metal grinding kinda sound

 

probally the rear bushings are worn out

 

yes it moves side to side in every gear, just like it does when its in netural
