I was shifting today then all of a sudden my shift knob could move left or right! in a gear!!! I then accelerated from a stop and found that my first gear had been replaced with my 3rd, and same with 4th.

So i opend up the hood, took teh air filter out and found that the not sure what its called or original shape looked like, cylindrical clip or something that was welded to the horizontal control of moving the shifts in and out was completly missing. Iono whats it called or how it happened.

But to do a better example in words, trying to paint a picture. There is this metal thing that turns left and right for shifting. however when you go into first or second it pops out then goes left or right. now the thingn that hooks it to the thing that poped it out isn't there anymore. I dont know if it was welded or whatever, ifzanyone knows what its called plz tell me, and if you even know further, can i do it myself? How much does it cost to fix?

 

rarararararar iono what it is

 

it coulde be called the selector lever? or the thing that moves back and forth to swtich gears, its right below the stock air filter

 

Shifter bushings - on the gear selector forks. The c-clip must have broken/fallen off.

 

right right!!! ok so its called the c clip? that makes sense. Does it need to be welded?

 

No, its not welded if its just the c-clip.

 

I had this problem with my dsm. I used paper clips for temporary use

 

ok then thats not it.

its the joint that holds the two together

so like when you move your stick left and right, this brings the selector fork in and out.

so imagine like a clip that goes in there,it should be plastic(acoring to an evo i saw)

an it sits unerit and allows it to bring it on an out. I NEED A CMAERA

 

ok went to the dealer and found out its called a shoe, i'll have it in friday :P

 

i guess messed upsomething so now its at the stealership and ther gona dfind out whats wrong
