Shifter Sitting/tilted Off To The Left R33 Gts-T

[Pattey21]

Hey guys,

did a track day a month ago and in the last few laps i missed the gate for third and when i pulled into the pits i noticed the shifter was sitting/tilted off to the left.

From a birds eye view it sits about halfway between 1st and 3rd. The gaps between 1st 3rd and 5th feel the same . Since i have replaced gear and engine mount with no success.

I now think its either a crossmember or chassis. It was a grip day and my car was running shitty street tyres and about 200rwkw with spring rates 6kg front 4kg rear and strut braces all round.

Cheers

Patrick

Is the shifter more 'loose/floppy' than before the track day?

[Pattey21]

Unfortunately no it feels exactley the same. The shifters about two months old "nismo solid shifter" and i pulled it out to check if the bush was damaged, but all was intact.

There is a detent and spring on each side of the shifter which centralises the shifter - perhaps one of the springs has bent or jammed, or you've sheared off the detent pin? They're behind a large 27mm (from memory) headed bolt either side of the extension housing close to the shifter mount plate.

Yeah i was thinking that but thought it would do dog leg into gear which it doesnt bit also movement distance side to side from shifter current position is even. Ill have a look thoigh. Cheers

Still no success, not the springs either. surely someone had run into this before.
