Any method of curing the jerkyness of the shifter on 5 spd?
I'll be getting a 2003 Protege ES on the weekend and the car is GREAT! I'm getting the 5 spd and the shifter had WAY too much play in it for my liking. I'm already thinking of installing a short shift kit, but is there anyway to 'tighten' things up when I eventually install it???

Kartboy bushings tighten things up a bit.
But Im not sure what you mean by jerkyness. |
I mean that there is too much play in the shifter.
For example, it can be moved/wiggled around too much when it's in neutral, instead of just being able to move side-to-side when putting it in gear. It isn't stiff enough, it's kinda sloppy. Too loose. |
Kartboy bushings make it less rubbery when you go from one gear to the other.
As far as being too loose, I have tried civics, jettas and cavaliers and they are all looser. But maybe thats because of the kartboy. I cant remember what it was like before. But I don't recall that changing when I installed the bushings. |
im using the kartboy ss and it's stiff enough for me. i had the bushings on my car for about 300miles, but it was just too stubborn.

With a good short-throw shifter and the Kartboy shifter bushings, you will be satisfied.
