shifter problem

MR.G · Post by **MR.G** » May 12, 2007

ok here's the deal. I have a 93 ex coupe with a b16 swap I also have a b&m short shifter.
The problem- my shifter has been smooth for the year or so that its been in, over the last couple weeks when I drive and the car warms up the shifter gets noticably stiffer to a point where it tough to shift. when the car cools down its back to normal. any idea what would cause this?

well to be honest short shifter is trash to me mine came off back in 2002 bad for the tranny i think so take it off and check the shift linkage well your down there

check bushings and linkage and also use chassis grease to lub shit.

thanks for the info. a couple weeks ago I checked the bushing, it lookid fine so I put it back in with a coat of lube. also what should I be looking for on the linkage. it seems to happen only after driving for longer periods and when the car is warm.. soon as it cools, its back to normal.

Check the Hydraulic system, I am willing to bet its the culprit. Have you checked your trans fluid recently?
