Sloppy gear shifterGuys, quick one. My gear shifter is extremely loose and sloppy, in neutral and when in gear i can make a circle with the shifter, its like stirring in a pot of soup. Gears are all perfect, box is fine, no crunching etc and all engage fine. Just the shit distance is super long. Took out the shifter and noticed that there's no bushings on the bottom ball part of the lever (it just lifts out with no resistance), and the round plastic ring further up is really worn too and the 2 notches dont have any plastic in them either. Is that my problem?? If i replace the ball thing on the bottom and the ring etc will my shifter be sharp and precise again or could it be the synchro?

Re: Sloppy gear shifterYeah the little white nylon cup thingy is what I think is missing on mine. Will get that and see what happens. So tempted to get a short shifter kit to sort the entire problem lol.
