The plastic piece on the shifter cable of just the passenger cable seems to be broken in some way allowing it to move freely making it harder to get in gear.
Not sure of the part number to replace it.
This is on my 03 evo 8 gsr
HELP APPRECIATED

 

Buschur racing makes aluminum shifter bushings, under the hood and base. I would recommend to upgrade rather than replace with stock plastic.

 

Link or part number?

 

Its actually not the bushings, its a plastic looking piece on the linkage

 

here is a pic of the loose plastic

 

That is molded into the cable. Not sure if you could just replace that plastic insert.
