was on my way to work this morning and noticed that my shifter seems to be moving side to side a tad bit more than usual...i'm not sure if i'm imagining things...Front to back seems as ususal....only side to side seems weird now.

if its indeed too slack what could be the cause?? bushes??

I'm running the 5mt STI short shifter. how much slack are you guys getting in neutral?? side to side...

 

Were you in neutral?

 

mine is all over the place in 4th gear especially.

hoping its just the bushes.....no idea how to replace them tho.

 

yeah...its in neutral.

anyway, turns out to be the bushing in the coupling. got it replaced. all is good now.

oh just in case some of you are wondering how much flop is it when new....its about 1/4 to 1/2 inch side to side and around 1/6 inch front to back.

 

not sure what version you have but i had my bushes swoped in 2005 on my version 7 sti by TSL. They said it wasn't uncommon on the version 7..
