  • Shifter help

    I have a really sloppy shifter, both left to right and up and down it moves. it makes a rattle noise when idle which is annoying. anyone on here have shifter bushings for sale or know a place to get them? If it moves up and down, would that mean i need a new housing for it too? Thanks

    look in the articles section for the up and down fix. Shifter bushings are harder to come by but you can use ones found in the HELP section at the auto parts store. They are intended for van doors but there are some in the mix that actually fit nicely.

        Where would those be listed on there? I have the same problem with my shifter and need new bushings. I also have a dual bend STS from a Civic I plan on installing soon. Do you know if the same bushings will work on that shifter?
        Oh no!!! Hills, my only weakness!!!!!

            That's what I bought. I have a Civic short shifter with some bushings, but my bolt/other four are going to be replaced with those. At over 500,000/300,000, my bushings are completely shot. Far too much slack!

                Even those can go bad though lol. Nothing worse than being locked out of "D".

                  Sooo does that mean you found a festiva? did you end up buying your friends?
