how do you remove shifter slop? i currently have billet shifter bushings (both front and rear), innovative shift linkage and ktuned short shifter. should i possibly switch to polyurethane shifter bushings? tighten u joint possibly?
Do you have the aptly named “bitch pin” (round spring that you have to punch in and out) that goes from the shift rod and holds it to the transmission or did you try to replace that with just a bolt?
Tighten the u joints, Change the detent springs, and make sure all the components like the bitch pin and what not are all there. Don’t use billet bushings unless you are running some extremely stiff mounts, if not solid mounts. Billet bushings with oem or even softer poly mounts can lead to you tearing out the shift linkage/stabilizer bar (atleast from what i’ve been told and have seen)
hey guys, i have a 91 and also do not have detent springs, should i just resort to doing the other things listed above? and would there be any other spot on the shift linkage that i would be able to put them? these speedfactory springs are brand new and just arrived today.
I have this on my 91 JDM S1 gearbox and the slop is all gone.

Replace also your ball seat. This is where the ball of your shifter sits. Plastic so wears out over time.
