Shifter Rattle

[BeEnAr]

Hi guys,

Finally got the GTR, now come the barage of questions...

This will probably be the first of many in the coming months.

I have a gear stick that rattles, it does it the worst in 3rd gear when the stick is left un touched. If I move it up about 1-2mm with my finger it stops. It does it in most gears but can be stopped by moving the stick that little bit to the "sweet" spot.

Is this normal? I am unsure if it is a short shifter or not as I have not driven another R32 GTR. How can I tell if it's a short shifter or not?

Well I think that's it, short and sweet.

Thanks in advance

there is a small nylon bush at the bottom of the shifter, yours might be worn. they are a match to other local ones including r31 skyline ad 21 navara so your local nissan should stock them if they are the problem

Thanks mate.

Is it a hard job to replace them?

the bush is dead easy once you have the shifter out. getting the shifter out can be tricky - console off, rubber boot off then you will need circlip pliers to remove the circlip - easy to loose be careful. once youve done all that you are ready to go

yep i had to swap my stocker bush onto the aftermarket shifter i got. it is slightly loose and rattles too in 3rd.

Cool I will but some Circlip pliers then and look at doing it. Problem is I am still unsure if it a stock shifter or not. It's very short in the throw but I am used to my Familia GTAe which is a hell of a lot longer.
