Thanks for the insite but as I have told everyone... the bolts are tight. I installed it myself and it has done it since day one, about 18 months and 18,000 miles ago. As do others that I have seen that I didn't install. Maybe we all damaged our bushings??? If its rare, why are so many loose? Seems some have more play than others but ALL have play (that I have seen) Like I said, it drives fine, just has some play. If I didnt love the look of the chrome shaft and black ball, I'd take it out and put something else in. All the other companies pale in comparison when it comes to that old school look and feel in your hand BUT the car with the MGW I drove... WOW! |

The other possibility is that your cross pin may be on the smaller side of the tolerance. All the bushings that we send out with our shifters must accept a "high-side" (largest acceptable production tolerance) cross pin that we received from GM as our gauge pin. This would produce the worst case scenario a create extra play. Finally, there is an inherant amount of play inside the transmission and in the change rod out of the transmission and onto the shifter. This cannot be corrected by the shifter alone and also varies from vehicle to vehicle. But the first thing to always check are the cross bolts as previously mentioned. Even if you tightened the hell out of them during install, over time there always is a possibilty for them to vibrate loose. As stated before, this is quite common (I even saw it on our V6 turbo Camaro) and it's the easiest to check.

My bolts are tight as well. I'm ordering replacement bushings today. Mine is just as bad as the everyone elses. Kenji, who makes the lower bushing for you? could it be improved to avoid damage during install?

Can you post a video or an install aid for avoiding lower bushing damage? (i.e. how to line up the pin with a punch, etc) I have a feeling that there's quite a few shifters out there with damaged bushings from install. |

My personal Camaro was definitely a WOW car. I could hear the noise that you are describing even with the stock shifter. However, with the NVH kit (that now comes with the shifters) it completely went away (even I was surprised).
