Your right i got under it today and the screw that goes in between them was not there i put a rubber type of bushing in the shifter and got a screw to hold the linkage to the shifter and its pretty thight its not sloppy like it was when i moved the shifter up and down but when i move it side to side its still a little sloppy im hopeing the new bushings will do the trick. oh and do you think i can get what im missing from an auto parts store or do i have to go to a honda dealer?
