How to Fix Your Loose Stick (manual shift stick)

In this video I show you how to fix a loose shifter for the 92-00 Honda Civic.

Stuff I commonly use in these videos…

Good enough video man. Congrats but I think we all know someone that has passed away due to working on cars or trucks without jack stands. Jack stands are life savers especially when teaching the young ones how to do one of there first repairs. Also chuck the tires. Safety first safety 2nd safety 3rd. Repair 4th. Promote chuck's and stands brothaman . People will do what u post. Anyway Cool, video dude. Very informative. I wish you well.

That's exactly what I was thinking the problem was! I actual had that bolt completely fall out on my way to work the other day. Thankfully it was in 4th when it happened so I was able to make it there in time, but it was rough. Thanks a bunch man!

I expected to see something fixed as the title states, and yet he fixed nothing. Its not comforting that almost every direction given is prefaced with "I think".

Lmaooo i always thought my civic was meant to be all wobbly. I even play around with it when im vored at traffic

The stick in our E30 is the worst I have ever seen. My wife and I have been driving it for ten plus years. Didnt realize how bad it was until someone else went to move couldn't drive it! LOL. Works fine for us!

Dude you're sending people on a wild goose chase with this video. The U joints where the linkage connects to the transmission is where the problem is. Just squeeze them in a table vice until they are tight against the plastic washers. Boom. Problem solved.

Good job on the vid. Explained everything well. Keep it up

[Becerra_]

Thank you, this is the video I needed

would this make the shifter move when you let off the gas it moves like a good inch back and forth

Hi, this is the problem with my 98 Civic. What is the name of that plastic piece so I know what to ask/look for?

[robbybuck]

Thank you verry helpful. buying a 96 civic was told the shifter was a little loose so this should fix it. thanks

[JoseReyes-qntm]

I have a honda civic when I shift into 5 gear I have to h old it place. What can it be? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My shifter recently became hard to move.  My exhaust broke behind the cat and now I'm wondering if maybe the heat from my exhaust melted the bushings?  Would that cause my shifter to be hard to move?

YESSS! This helped me sooo much. Btw, good job with the lighting and camera angle
