tranny
 

i have a 86 gxl and my shifter in my tranny is loose. like i can pull up on it and then it goes back down and while in gear it can move like 2 inches in each direction. and i was also wondering what kind of clutch i should get? thanks for all the help

You need new shifter bushings. You can get it at www.mazdatrix.com

Is your car stock? OEM style clutches are good.

Here is what's inside:

do i need the upper and lower or just the upper? and i was also thinking about buying a short throw shifter any ideas on what kind to buy?

Buy the short shifter from mazdatrix, it makes a huge difference.
