Short shifter questions

Hello all,

My manual shifter has a ton of play from side to side in gear. I would like to tighten it up, but I don't want to change the **** or boot. Will the 3rd gen shifter, Pacesetter, or B & M work with the stock **** and boot? Which do y'all recommend?

I have read the installation instructions on the various sites (ProtegeTech, Automediazone, and GroHarlem's site), but I have also read at least one bad post on the bronzeoil bushings.

Does anyone have a setup that they like or recommend that is an upgrade while still appearing stock? Is this play just something I should live with?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Wil

I think I'll just live with it. I appreciate your help. I would have thought new bushings would have helped, so it is good to hear that they don't in this case - saved me some time and money.

You could have given me help, but you've given me so much more....

"I hacked up the knuckle and redid it using some bolts and a thin nut."

Ummm, OK - I'll just do that. What?????

PseudoRealityX, thank you. That's better than the shop manual! I appreciate your help.
