Know a good Short throw shifter, or shifter replacement?
so I’ve been getting experience in my 2004 stickshift, and I’ve been noticing that I’ve been having a hard time telling what gear I’m in and when in gear it has a bit too much play then I expect (although I’ve never driven a stick before so I wouldn’t know)
so does any one know a good after market shifter or should I buy a new factory one?
it could be the whole assembly or mybe if you know what peice is making it loose let me know what to replace

Sounds like you need some new shifter linkage bushings but as Evil pointed out the comptech ss is very nice, worth the money and time. Short throws and its pretty smooth.

As fox pointed out, shifter links are going out. I had the same issue when I had my Mazda. Tons of play and fixing the bushings on it fix it.
