I just got my 700 rx7 turbo 2 ,but thers a problem. Its the shifter its not like other car I've owned moves ever were it feels as though there are no gears it moves al over the place I car find gears ,but I have to move it around to find them

 

Replace all the shifter bushings. Check out www.mazdatrix.com

 

Thats what I have been told ,but I'm not sure. I took off the boot and the rubber peice is broken all around. But then I look at my buddys and his is to ,but its the tightest shifter I've ever felt

 

The bushings are on the end of the shifter, that rubber piece does nothing for the "feel" of the shifter. If the bushings are gone they need replacing!

 

Yes it is the bushings.

Makes a world of difference when you replace them

 

not necc..

some ppl have a problem with the "socket" itself...

the ball joint and socket that the shifter pivots in might be messed up... so the ball on the end of the shifter ends up comin out of it's socket...

change the bushings first.. but if this doesn't fix it, don't be suprised...

if it's the socket.. only way to fix it, is to drop the tranny...

 

Here is what's inside:
