loose stick shift!
so i've been noticing more and more that my stick is a little loose. at first i thought, alright maybe thats just hwo the rx-7's are, but i dunno i think its pretty loose though. i mean im just saying like even when the car is off, and w/o pushin in the cluth just like wigglin it around in neutral it feels like its got way to much movement than it should. any help or advice would be awesome!

It should have some movement side to side and as it get close to the gates but excessive play or rotation is not so good. That is a sign that you have worn shifter bushings. It is a common occurance in our cars and not a big deal to change out.
You can get the new bushings and springs here. There is also an step-by-step installation guide a little further down the page as well.

Old shifter boots that are torn or have holes in them will allow more heat and exhaust fumes to seep into the car. If you do not like that situation then you would need to get new boots to prevent that.

There was a thread about this somewhere where it was not the bushings that caused the movement but the little ball on the end that fits into the tranny.
Mine is like that aswell, I am going to order bushings first to see if that helps.

Only the S5's have that plastic bushing in the horizontal selector rod.
Also the S5's have a plastic insert in the pivot ball to keep it from spinning.
