is it common for rx7 shifters to have a lot of play? by play, i mean when the car is engaged in gear, you can wiggle the shift **** left and right easily and a good distance. if not, would a short shifter fix this issue? or it is just how the rx7 transmission is designed?

The shifter bushings may be worn out .See if the three mounting bolts are tight , if they are pull them out and see the bushings .I guess you can buy the circle shape parts ,I know you can buy the cup shape bushing . I have made the circle shaped parts before .

i get a vibration coming up through my gear stick and it i can hear engine noise through the car. Im not too sure why, ive been told its because of my short shifter, but my gear **** is also not tight.

what about play...do your shift ***** wiggle from left to right easily when engaged in a gear?

Replace the small shiftuer bushing on the bottom of the shifter. It is about $5.00 from Malloy and will make a ton of difference. Takes about 5 mins to replace.

There are four plastic bushing and two wave washers that cost less then $30.00 and can be replaced in less than 15 minutes. But it's likely the dust boot is ripped, and that piece is about $20 bucks on it's own.

mine plays alot to, but i just save my money for now cause its not the worst thing to put up with.

my **** moves has a bit of movement, which is causing some annoying sounds which stop as soon as i touch the ****. My gear stick doesnt move though.

Mine has ZERO play, and same with my last FD. Replace those bushings.
