sticky transmission

civic_coupe · 09-03-2007, 04:25 AM

driving a 5MT. when im in netural and wiggle my shifter left to right, it sticks to the left sometimes.. and its real rough going left to right in netural.. i recently installed TWM cable bushings, and ever since i did, ive had this problem. i took a look at the bushings and nothing looks out of place. what else should i look at?

you could spray a little silicone around the bushings that should help

Try a little lube.

Worse case... you might have to ream the bushing bores open .001" to .002" if their a little too close on the posts. If you have a '07, I believe an 8mm (.3150") reamer would do the trick

Good luck.
