sloppy shifter

shackwrrr · 04-02-2009, 02:53 AM

I have a 1993 suzuki sidekick with a 5 speed. The shifter seems to have an extreme amount of slop. When I put it in 1st gear. the shifter falls down to where neutral would be but its still in 1st. There is about 4in of slop in all directions in all gears. What could this be?

Shack...there are plastic bushing that wear out. Please do a search for this information. jtgh has posted a fix for this with the OEM part #s for easy ordering.
Hopes this helps,
