Lots of Shift Play Help!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey so I had a lot of shift play and opened it up a week ago noticed the plastic bushing at the bottom was cracked and all messed up. Ordered a Cusco bushing and popped it on today, now it shifts better before with the cracked one sometimes I had to push hard, but shift play is still there.

Also I was hoping the bushing would fix this, but the car is iffy at getting the shifter into reverse and still is. Also makes a rattle sound if the clutch is pushed in around 2k, say I'm in third and rev matching to 2nd when I push in clutch and go to second there will be a rubbing sound the second I finish the rev match and let the clutch out it dissapears.

Should I replace the rest of the plastic parts of my Shifter and if so where the hell do I find them it was hard enough getting that bushing.

hey is the cusco one metal by chance? does it stick in any other gear when driving at all maybe some new tranny oil will smooth it out idk... just my 2 cents

yes the cusco one is metal it stays in gear fine, just a lot of shift play that I was hoping the Cusco bushing would fix. I'll try some tranny oil sometime maybe it'll help out.

there is a kit that has stiffer springs to fix your problem, they install in the transmission.
