Shifter too sloppy

[Mishakol129]

Hey yall, good morning. I am in the process of almost completing the 5 speed swap... I have one problem though, the shifter is way too sloppy. It will shift into gears fine its just it feels like its in neutral. I can eve rotate it a little diagonally.

Does anyone have a quick DIY solution to this problem?


Thanks.

I figure that the shifter components are just worn out.

Is this correct, can someone help?

Replace the linkage bushings.

Replace the linkage bushings.

Thanks for the reply, which bushings are you thinking of, is it on the transmission?

Yes. They are between the lever arms and the cable linkage.
