if you have a sloppy shifter, this could be why.

I also have this problem and would love to see the picture. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow, but if anyone has the picture saved to their hard disk can you post it up please?
I've taken the transmission out a few times. I had to undo one bolt that connects the shift rod to the transmission linkage. The bolt had to be put in a hole in the shift rod, and get set into a dimple in the tranny linkage rod. Is this what I'm supposed to tighten? And where's the second bolt then?
If I figure it out, I'll take pics!

I sent perry951 a p.m. saying his photos were wanted on this thread. It's been 3 years, so he might not even have them anymore.

Someone should have PM'd me a long time ago when they went down!!! Slackers... :rolleyes. Ok, pics updated for 2006 on the 1st page. Enjoy!
PS.. don't forget that the shift rod (shifter itself) is a major culpret for slop. $45 dealer part.

I could start making them again if there's any interest in them again.

Neat-O!!! I've been pondering hacking off the end of the shifter rod and "fixing" it like you did in that first picture for a few years now. I'm glad to see that the idea is sound.

I don't have a sloppy shifter yet, but I'm sure I will one of these days.I have a folder on my HD (which gets backed up when I remember a couple times a year) for 944 pages - page 1 and 4 just went to it.

Bump, for a couple of reasons;
1) To keep the thread w/ pictures active.
2) This is my project this week.
3) To help out those new 944 owners since the thread was active.
The car is being prepped for autocross and DE this year and my sloppy shifter is on top of my current DIY list. Thanks to all that that contributed.

With a bit of threaded rod and some jam nuts you can make your own.

The shifter is connected to the shift rod with a "pin" that sometimes wears - this will contribute to a sloppy shift action.

Can the shifter rod be tightened from within the car, as the above qoute might suggest, or am under the car and looking at possibly replacing the transaxle shift linkage?
I'm working from the clarks-garage TRANS-07, Transaxle - Checking, Repairing ... instructions.
