Sounds like you need a new shift lever spring if there is a lack of accuracy with the shifter and it feels slack in the neutral (if the shifter doesn't bounce back to the middle if you let it go quick).

Really easy fix, took me about 25 mins and involves removing the gaiter and a few bolts.

Other than that if it more down to the shifting rather than the lever the cables may need adjusting

 

Well, there's this which I can't get but another forum member makes.

There's also the lever and bushing on the right side of the shifter and the new cables which I do have, just give a call if you want them.

I had someone giggle the shifter around and move through the gears and I agree that this is one of the loose points. Who here on the forum could I buy that new piece from?

 

Jdrahush I think is his name.

 

^^ Actually - can't remember if it's his thread - but he (or someone) showed how you could just TURN that part a quarter turn and things would feel like new, since two sides of the "cube" are the ones getting worn down while the other two just sit there.

I'd like to know an easy way to get to that part (I have no access nor place to lift, jack, or ramp mine up) and turn it myself...

 

WungUn used to make bushings for the shift cables, but they required some grinding and drilling. He's also the one who posted that pic of the square bushing you could rotate 90 degrees:

I guess the way to get there and do this is to remove the battery and air box area. Then get your hands down there. I bet it's a pain to do with the tran still in the car.

 

It's not difficult at all; just remove the airbox and inlet hose and you should be able to reach everything you need to. Disconnect the upper shift cable and remove the two bolts that hold the upper linkage in (the two in the left of the above picture) which the square bushing is attached to. Then spin the bushing, reinstall.

 

It was indeed Wungun who was the OP. I did repeat it in a number of threads though, and yes I can make you a shifter bushing if you need one.

 

Who here can sell me a new shifter bushing like the one listed above? and how much do you charge?

Thank you

 

The guy who posted before you.


Caution...he's from canadia

 

I sent him an IM, however I have not heard back form him yet.

 

Considering I'm on vacation I think my response time was pretty good!

 

Welcome back! Do you have any extra bushings left?

 

Ouch!

 

Hey it's not all snow up here. In fact Windsor Ontario has the same latitude as Northern California. Although it did snow while I was in Ottawa...

Anyway RevLimit I still haven't got your address so I can't ship it out. PM me please.
