Re: loose shifting

the bushings on the shift knob most likely... probably need to be replaced..

Re: loose shifting

it is the shifter bushings, the bottom bolts are a bi**h to get to. i would buy the bronze shifter bushings from splparts.com instead of the oem rubber ones.

Re: loose shifting

I swapped some shifer bushings in my car after about 20k and even then i felt a dramatic difference in the way it shifts especially under hard shifting. Another great thing about them is you shoukd be able to find some for about 15 bucks
