I have a shifter question. It is in a '92 900T 5 sp. I have trouble hitting the 3-4 gate from 2. When the car is in 3rd or 4th, the shifter is solid, there is very little lateral or longitudinal play. In 1st and 2nd, there is little longitudinal play, but a ton (1-2") of lateral play at the shift knob. I feel this vague 1-2 gate is the problem I cannot seem to always hit 3 when I am sporting along. When I let the shifter travel, it snaps to 3-4 when it hits neutral, so the spring seems to be fine. What is worn out?, Can it be fixed to have similar play in all 5 gears? I do not need a 'short shift' kit, but would be interested in an Al ball if it is indeed the nylon ball which is worn. I thought I'd get some input before I took it apart.
