I have a 96 civic hatch with a d series motor I have a problem with my shift linkage / shifter. My shifter is way to wobblie even in gear. I changed the bushings that goes to the tranny and the one by the shifter. I even put in a new shifter with new oem top bushings or whatever you call them. I changed all those parts and it's still wobblie. Can someone guide me in a direction. Also where the bitch pin is suppose to be I put a regular bolt with a nut can this make the shifter be wobble?

 

If the bolt isn't the same size as the bitch pin, it most certainly can create free play in the shifter. Did you check the U joint near the bitch pin for free play?

 

I did check free play by the U joint and isn't no play

 

I have the same problem. did you ever figure out how to fix it?
