Default Shifter install loose skunk2

Hasport linkage and skunk2 shifter. Going on a 91 crx

Is there something I'm missing?
Bolt - washer - fork arm - shifter with the supplied sleeve for bearing on both sides - fork arm - washer - nut

If using the spacer they provide before the nut it leaves about 2 threads. I believe there are OEM rubber spacer bushings that go on either side of the shifter but don't recall and car does not have them currently. If I switch the washers from outside the fork arms to inside it is tight and snug but doesn't look right. What am I missing?

Meh either run a washer or bend it in I guess. Still not enough threads for the nut if I bend to use the supplied spacer though. Either make my own spacer out of washers or just bolt that nut all the way down.

oh yea, go to Home depot or ace hardware, get a locking nut, a bolt, and a nylon washer to fill in the void so you dont have to bend it in

When I got my skunk2 shifter about two years ago, it came with a small washer that fills in the gap you show in the pictures. If you leave it out it is loose with quite a bit of play.

My K-tuned shifter has play because I didn't install a washer. I was in a rush though and will get around to fixing it one day.
