Shift stick loose...

daSong · 10-02-2009, 02:06 PM

Hey guys, has anyone else experienced their shifter feeling loose?
The other day, I shifted from park to drive and the stick just felt very loose. It had always felt nice and tight. It's also loose going back up to Reverse and park. The car runs fine otherwise.
Is this a sign of some problem? Should I get the transmission checked out?
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what fixed it?

Thanks yall...

Look at the stickies at benzworld.org. An easy and cheap fix. Parts about $3.00.

Cheers

Shifter bushing; located up high in the left hand side of the trans tunnel. Need small hands or 12" needle nose to reach. Bushing is green usually.
