why dont you just go buy one of the 9.00 bushings from nissan and replace it, and get the shifter gasket also cause its probably going to tear. hell while your at it get some gangster gear oil. ---

You’re one step ahead of me, I’m figuring out how to keep the shifter from not lifting out. LOL I was told I’m missing a snap ring or something. ---

I have an O.E shifter (complete) Get the shifter bushing from Nissan like Keezy said. JUST DO IT! You could probably get the snap ring too from them??? If not, buy me entire O.E shifter for the low low price of…I dunno 20? ---

Follow this and you will find salvation: 1. Get the Nissan OEM shifter bushing piece. (Costs about $2 - $4) 2. Get yourself a a new set of tranny mounts. NISMO or Peak Performance will work. 3. If you want a shorter throw, get a short shifter. (Tomei, B&M, or Megan) If you do all 3, it’ll feel pretty good. ---

lol salvation. If I had money atm, I’d rock the B&M with the Nismo mounts. ---
