Not sure if this is a known issue here on the forums or not but I've had a sloppy shifter for a while and an issue recently getting my transmission to go into first gear and downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. After calling Hasport when I noticed what looked like a bad bushing in my linkage, come to find out that it's a known issue and they had a bad batch of linkage.

So you're having a similar problem, call Hasport and get your rebuild kit....they're currently on backorder but should be shipping soon, once they make more.

Hopefully this fixes my issue...much rather have it be this than bent shift forks!
