Hey guys,

I gots a problem here. About a month and a half ago i changed the clutch on my miata from OEM to a 6-puck clutch. Everything was great up until now. In all gears, the shifter feels extremely wobbly!! When I put it into any gear i can wobble it around as if it was in neutral without popping it out of gear.

Could it be because a bushing broke or fell out? I know there are those nylon looking bushings there. Any advice???

Thanks peeps

The bushing makes your shifter wobble when it breaks. Its the plastic cap that goes on the end of the shifter. That and a combination of a cracked lower shift boot would make it wobble pretty good.

Ok, i'll go check those!!

I knew there was a bushing there, but thought i'd consult with the guru's here first before i tear into things. The shifter rubber stuff is all brand new, I just didn't bother changing out that bushing though. I'll keep you guys updated.

In my MSM the shifter kept jumping out and would just sit on top of the bushing. In the end I had to shim it up a bit with a washer to stop it popping out.
