Maybe they forgot to disconnect the shifter cables when lowering the transmission and they got tweaked.

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.

had my tranny dropped for an ims upgrade. Also did the tranny oil.
now my shift is a little mushy going into R .. 1 and 3. Almost like rhey are gonna fall out.Other gears are fine.
feels like they dont knotch in place like they did before.
Anyone see this before? I called my shop after i got home and said it should be like that after new oil. Doesnt feel right to me.
Think they botched the re connect of the cables to the tranny? Are they even adjustsble? Or is the only adjustment done just below the shift lever? Should it be adjusted using the Shift adjustment tool? That area wasnt touched.
Thy def didnt take apart the console.
shifting was normal prior to this work being done.
Thanks all
its the cables either where they clip into the trans or under the center consol. Its common for them to pop out under the car and a zip tie fixes it. Take it back of slide under your car 4 a look.
No the adjustment is under the center consol. Do a search for sloppy shifter or similar and im sure u will find a thred with a pic of the issue. Like i said its very common for the retainer clips to release.
Compared to the bottom one, looks like the top one isn't quite right. Perhaps the metal circlip goldish in color is on the backside of the bracket when it should be on the opposite side like the bottom one? You can see a faint ring around the top one that's cleaner indicating that something may have previously occupied that area and kept it a little cleaner.
I called the shop and they said bring it by.. we shall see!
He said its likely in the console adjustment. Which is odd. Since they didnt touch that durijg the ims job.
Found the problem. The right shifter cable clip is broken. Causing the problem. This wasnt an issue before.
2 options. Try to figure out a way to fix the exitheng clip so it holds under load. Ziptie didnt work.
or
Order new shifter cables. 420$ plus labour.
not really fair since this wasnt an issue before.
Im thinking when they disconnected the cables from the tranny..they pulled on one cable causing the clip to break.
Plus part wont be able to arrive till next week anyways.
any ideas? Im thinking to bring the car home for the weekend and try to figure something out.
Pic attached. I found online of the broken clip. **RED ARROW.
Is it the cable or the shifter assembly? Your arrow looks like it's pointing to the shifter. If it's the assembly you should just upgrade to a 997, 997 short shift or numeric shifter and install it yourself.
The cable got snagged when they were dropping the transmission. Can you use some hose clamps to secure it until the cable is replace? Also, the lessen the cost, look for a good used one. Should be plenty around.
I have a set of used cables and a 996 shifter with an Agency Power shirt shift kit thats left over from swapping to Numeric equipment. If u r are interested in any of it send me a pm.
used gorilla glue very little and some gorilla tape and hose clamp. Put on 50km this morning. No popping out!!
A couple more days driving then ill put the console back in.
