I have noticed some side to side play (in gear and in neutral) in the shifter, I search and found about the 10mm bolt which seams to control throw in the gates (mine was loose, and Tranny wasn't going into gear, tightened i and now its fine) now I'm just wondering if their is another adjustment I can check for side to side play. The shifter rod is fine and I have a new circlip and washer on the shift to rod connection

check these two bolts bottom rear was not even finger tight when I got to it and other was broken off

 

how play much is your problem causing? when do you know your play is greater than normal?
i like thread.

 

Mine moved side to side in gear (maybe 2-3") and now maybe 1" when in gear, also when going into 1st would hit the left side wall and rub up and down to 2nd (no more, but 1st feels like 1/2 way between where 1st and 2nd use to be) but solid

 

Well I check all the bolts, they seemed tight, I actually broke the bolt head of the bolt to the left (the one that holds the long black shifter rod in place, I have a spare so I'll have to ez out it some time, but there is still some side to side play, but since it doesnt have trouble going into any gears im not going to try and adjust it anymore
anyone ever have to get this bolt ez outed is it a pain, I know it fine to drive but knowing that I have a bolt with the head off just erks me

 

mine was broken and the mechanic drilled and tapped it (mine was lose so it came apart, part of the sloppy shifting and reason I had it looked at) tight now and feels much better
