My Gear Selector Keeps Popping Out!?

[Dean_HR31]

Hey guys, after having my engine re built on my R33 ive been having a problem with the gear selector that i never had before hand. The mechanics must of not put something back in correctly.

If im driving the car normally, its nice and tight & fine. But every time i either pop the clutch or change gear at high rpm the gear selector kind of detaches from where its ment to be and suddenly feels like its in no mans land. You can then pretty much move the selector around however you want guessing your way to find a gear.

And if you keep wiggling it for a good 5-10 minutes if your lucky, it slips back in and is back to normal untill you do the same thing again.

Me and my mate took off the rubber boot etc to have a look inside, we took out that circlip inside that holds the selector in and put it back in praying that it would for some reason now be fixed, but its still doing the same thing.

There is obviously some sought of component missing in there.

Can anyone help with this with what it could possibly be thats missing or not in right?

Thanks heaps

Have a look at the piccies in the first set before the dude swaps to the short shifter. See if yours looks like this.
