Hi!
Is there some way to make the shifter feel more direct? It feel really sloppy compared to my previous celica (1990). I noticed the shifter assembly in my 5th gen was made of metal and the one in the 6th gen is made of plastic...It seems like a downgrade to me !? I noticed rubber washers where the assembly is mounted, I'll probably remove that but I dont think I'm going to get back the "mecanical clicking" feel I was used to and loved... Also when I got in 2,4 or reverse engaged, it seems like I can still pull the shifter a good 1 inch further down, is that extra play normal??? I really feel like i'm handling a plastic stick   --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

I have virtually no play in any gear. I consider the shifter one of the finest features of my car. Shifts are very positive. As you pull/ push the shifter you can feel the transition progress through each stage. 1: with the clutch depressed the shifter clicks out of the lower gear with a very defined detent. 2:as the shifter is making its way to the next gear selection you can feel the detent occur as the lever reaches the end of its range of travel simulateously as it gets into the higher gear. By the way. Every time I stop driving my Celica and I get back to drive my other car I roll my eyes and shake my head. My Civic is completly vague. You can't really enjoy the shifting. The whole Honda design irritates me to no end. There are no cables in my Civic. Instead they use shifter rods. What a engineering mistake! If I could put a Celica shifter in my Civic I would. Yellow94GT You got that right! Exactly how my 5th gen felt! I ordered teh bushings from http://www.speed-source.net/, hopefully than with new base bushing will revamp the old shifter  -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
