My stick shift lever has a lot of play in it, my mechanic says that in order to
change it he needs to take down the transmition, does anybody know if that is
true? please let me know
Hey man, in short the answer is no. Your
transmision is probably fine, like mine - you'll find that
the rubber gear shift bushings have worn out - this
happens in lots of old mazda rotarys. It is pretty cheap
to replace. When the rubber bushings go - it creates
lots of freeplay even when the car is in gear. Any
decent auto wrecker shoud be able to supply bushings.
