R33 Rb25det Gear Stick Flopping Around Problem ?

[r33madd]

Last night i was driving at 100kmh then i went to drop down to 4th gear to pass and i noticed that my gear lever felt as if it was sitting in Neutral as in it could just FLOP around etc.

i stopped and i can still put it into every gear no crunching or anything diff. it just flops all over the place even when in gear.......hahah WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

Thanks

Plastic bush on the end of the gear stick that slots into the selector rod end is gone....

That's one I can think of.

agree with above. Old man used to have a 5 speed VS ute and the stick was sloppy, replaced the plastic bush and was fine.

Lucky you has a cheap fix there, plastic bush is only about 2 buks i think lol

the bush at the bottom of the gearshift for sure...you described the feeling perfectly

Thanks heaps guys i kinda was thinking that. will check it out tonight.

hmm only other question if it has come off haha where will it be now.... mashed up inside the box ??

hhahah yep! its just a nylon bush, no problem. I've got one floating around my navara's gearbo for about 100,000klm now, and Mark has one in his race gear gearbox too

BTW they are a $2 part from any nissan dealer once they work out what you are talking about. It is the same part for a D21 Navara and probably many other rwd nissans like r31 skyline

Make sure you get the big one for the 25t boxes and not the smaller one meant for the 20 boxes.
