Is This Normal Shifter Movement?

Hey guys

I have just bought my first Skyline. Going from 1st to 2nd can be a bit rough. Is it normal to have this much play in the shifter?

The action that you were trying to perform has failed.

That's funny.

Nah that's not normal. Is it a short shifter?

Probably missing a clip or the plastic cradle thingy? Pull the shifter and all the bits holding in, out and take a pic, and the bits under the shifter Then we see what's missing

There should be a nylon seat under the circlip that holds the lever in place;

Also seen in this pic;

If this is worn or missing, you'll have a lot of slop.

Yours appears to be AWOL; get down to Nissan & buy a new one.

I pulled mine out. The 2 piece nylon ring around the middle of the stick is loose. I tried to press it back together but its still sloppy.

Am I able to buy just this part or do I need to buy a whole kit.

Ebay have "quick" shifters for about $80 delivered.

Just go buy it from Nissan spare parts, as you were advised 2 posts ago.
