Default Shakey Shakey Shifter

Before i dive into the linkage and replace the shift bushing, is there anything else that needs to be dialed in?

Also is there a good DIY for that somewhere?

Could be your engine/tranny mounts.

The video didnt work for me but it could also be normal. The s2k shifter goes directly into the trans so it does move around a decent amount compared to other cars with linkages in between

Engine/Trans mounts are solid. just seems to be extra play in the shifter itself. how can you tell if the plastic ball on the end is the culprit? or the plastic collar around the shaft?

TCT fluid is that green, neon-like glowing fluid that keeps the VTEC assembly lubricated properly; can only be bought at one honda dealership in the world and invite only, that's why everyone else's s2k is making only 240hp and the select few using the fluid are making 333.3 :tip wink:

Vtec fluid is made up 9000rpm

I also have that problem even after I replaced motor-trans mounts.
