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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I self installed yesterday and was wondering about the play while in neutral. How much play forward and back should be normal. Also while in gear I have some for and back play... http://www.bmracing.com/products/shf...9500725-03.pdf - step 29 shows end play...how much should there be? Wondering if I did something wrong or normal. I marked the cables and it shifts pretty smooth in and out of all gears so far. If the cables were put back in the wrong place could this cause the problem? Thx. Robert

POST 2Original post

you can adjust the bushing for fore/aft 'play'. if i push my shifter w/ thumb and forefinger by the base of the stalk, i get 1-2 mm movement. less play would be too tight. i'm goin' off memory, been a while since i did mine.

POST 5Original post

Tighten the allen screw until the shifter no longer snaps back to the neutral position from the 5-6 gate, then loosen until it snaps back to neutral (midline). This is how Porsche adjusts the OEM version, which is virtually the same. I can email the tsb if you like, the file is too big to upload..
