what car is it for?

if its for the GD then im not sure but if its the EM or EG then its probably the bushings in the unijoint mine wore out on my B16 civic, its a bitch to change them, remove the shifter linkage from the tranny by removing the "bitch pin" and replace the linkage and rod:

Hasport shifter rod replacement kit

notice the white bushing on the uni joint? thats what wears out and gives that loose feeling.

alternatively u could cut some washers and slide them in as a shim to remove the play.
i removed mine and ground off the pin and filled up the gaps with washers and gave it a more solid feel, but couldnt get it perfect, a small gap can make a lot of difference.

At first I bought the ES bushings and they did ABSOLUTELY nothing because they just support the stabiliser, waste of time lukily they are like 20$, and easy to do whilst you're under there.


to do determine if it is the stabiliser bushings that are knackered try pushing and lifting the gear stick up if it has lateral movement then the bushings are going, but if u put it in first and it flops around then its the uni joint. i recomend buying a replacement over my method which just took hours and wasnt perfect.
