6 Speed Shifter Turret Pic
 
Gents,

Is this as it should be? I got this 6-speed coupled with a used JDM NB1 motor a few years ago.

I can slide my finger completely through where the shifter bushing goes in the shift mechanism. The only thing keeping the bushing tight against the lower ball on the shifter is that little lip with the point on it that I circled in white. It just looks odd...

Thanks,

thought the lower bush had an upper lip (sorta inverted 'tophat' shaped) that stopped it dropping down in the selector?

anyway, It's possibly just casting differences but my 6 speed (later / nb2 type I believe:dunno:) had a full diameter lip

ignore the nut & bolt lower left, it's to lock-out first gear selection:bang:

more images & stupidity in M5's forums..

Any updates? I assume this is normal. I just picked up a 6 speed and the turret is the same. Thought it was broken lol
