I don't want to put a short throw in, i'd just like to make it so that the shifter doesnt have a 4" swing while it is in a gear, and so it doesnt bang on the console in reverse.
what do i need to do.

Shift rod joint maybe ? Do you have a sheet metal shift console or aluminum ?Originally posted by ptownTSI View PostMtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

i think its aluminum. is the shift rod joint the one that UUC charges a ridiculous amount for two tiny pieces of plastic? "delrin carrier bushing" or some crap.Comment

Bushings would be my guess, as well.

If you want, you can also replace #8, although most people don't.

i was going to say, join the club.. but, yours isn't as bad as mine.. and i think the slop plays a role in second working when it wants to. i am upgrading to a short shifter though. i just wish there were more options for me since i have the sheetmetal one, i think.. i SHOULD atleast.

My Eta has the sheet metal style shifter. I replaced EVERY wear item on the shifter and linkage and installed a Z4 2.5 lever and it's fuckin awesome.Comment

I replaced all the bushings on mine and i still have some slight play.
It felt like it was the part on the tranny that the selector rod connects to causing the play.
Tranny is probably fucked.

#19 in that pic plays a large part in the shifter slop as well. Its a piece of foam rubber that firms up the pivot point between #13 and the rod attached to the tranny.
I replaced it with a more beefy piece of rubber hose and it made a world of difference.
