for some reason i was just driving home from work on the freeway about 80 maybe 90mph and then i wiggled my shifter and it moves all around but doesnt pop out of gear.. it will still shift but it will shift weird it twists and turns and stuff moves alot of play in the shifter scary.. dont no if a bolt fell or what it will move left right front and back but not up and down though.. and it kinda twist around also..

please help me/

 

My car does the same thing, your okay it just that maybe you don't got shifter bushings. Mine doesn't have any and it does that.....

Last week I let my friend test drive my car and he said your trany is all fawked up and I just laugh and say " You don't know nothing about cars do you, how can you tell if my tranny is messup by just wiggling my shifter...all my gears go in good and pull strong and no grinds, it's just I haven't had time to put in my shifter bushing to get rid of the little play in the shifter....

All you can do is jack it up and look at it.

 

nah but its not a lil play i can move mines all around.. im not sure if it is the second shiftlinkage.. pole cuz the bolt has came out of there before but i was not the one driving it and not sure what was the symptoms... but yeah anyways there is like five inches of play twist and turns and its goes in gear fine if i can find the right gear u no what i mean.. i actually have to seach for the gear there is so much play.

 

its sounds like ur bushings

bushings

 

what causes the bushings to go out besides the fact that i have a broken bell housing and the 2 lower bolts on the tranny are not connected so when i shift the whole engine moves at the same time..

damn i wouldnt worry about the bushings id be more concernced about the tranny bolts

 

yea i need to get the new bell housing soon tonight we get to race the cops at the track and i cant run cuz there is no point .. anyways fixed the problem .. there are bolts right under the shifter one that goes left to right and it came loose cuz the nut feel off. may have been caused by all the extra vibration i get with the new mount kit that i have...

thanks for the advice though guys.

 

time for new bushings
