Play in 6speed shift ****
Hey fellow Gs, so recently i went and bought an amazon cue ball shift **** came in the mail andninstalled it right away and really happy with it for some reason i like it more than when i had it in my camaro. Anyways as yall all know from factory infiniti decided to jb weld the freakin stock shift **** making it impossible to remove or almost. Used a strap wrench and with decent effort got the mf off. What i didnt do as advised thru numerious members is to clamp down the base of the shifter. After i got the **** off and lifted the trim pieces i noticed the rubber boot was twisted around the shifter shaft (black). Anyways did i break or tweak something? In neutral before the **** change there was zero play but now a noticeable amount enough to even make the shifting a bit notchy. Anyone experience this to a degree? Is it all in my head?

The upper part of the shifter rod is two pieces, separated by a rubber sleeve.
You have twisted the upper part and might of ripped the rubber resulting in a bit of play between the the two parts.
You can try to twist it back, replace the part, or live with it.

Thabks for the reply vq and i think your right i probably just broke the bond or even tore the rubber between the two pieces its still a fairly solid shifter which is what made me think i screwed up the tolerances somewhere in the linkage or bushings at the end shaft or fulcrum point anyways it really isnt a big deal just me being **** about the details. I see ams has an adjustable short shifter ill see what changes if any that makes
