Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My shifter is feeling very sloppy, but it's originating from the transmission side of the assembly. I circled the problematic part (not sure of the actual name - let's refer to it as the "transmission arm"). When I get under the car, I can pull it side to side and there is a lot of play in the connection to the bell housing. So when shifting, much of the fore/aft motion pushes/pulls this transmission arm before actually engaging the gears, leading to a feeling of disconnectedness. Is there a way to tighten this transmission arm? Thanks.

Replaceing the trans shifter arm & #17 will help but sounds like to restore new functionality you may have to get someone to fabricate a new bushing & install. Search forums for info.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How difficult is it to replace or shim bushing #17? That would remove most of the play. Can this be done without disassembling and/or removing the transmission from the car?
