Hi!
I've had a loose shifter on my car for quite some time now, but after driving a mate's EP3, I really felt the difference in the tightness of the shifts and want to restore my car to the same level.
I ordered a Revo short shifter in hopes that it would fix it, but the OEM one it replaced looked fine, the cables had no slack either. After further inspection I realized that the shift selector on top of the tranny has serious play in it (mainly the one that moves front-back, at least 10-15mm). I do not have any experience with the inside workings of a transmission, so I'd really appreciate some insight if someone has faced a similar issue before.
Could it be broken/worn springs inside the shift selector assembly or does this imply an issue with the selector forks?
(Regardless of the play in the shifter, the car engages all gears without an issue, be it coldstart, city driving or high RPM scenarios.)
Thank you for your answers!
