This problem came up today. It was real hard to find first gear. Then I got some sloppy shifting to try and find third and then could not locate fifth gear (lost). I checked it out when I got home and the linkage that bolts onto the transmission selector was looser than a hooker on the strip. The bolt was tight but it was still loose (side to side). The tooth on the selector shaft had started to strip out the teeth on the "short shift" linkage. See below.

If it was hardened steel, I am sure that this would not have happened. I am not too impressed. I will check in with Neuspeed tomorrow. I put the stock one back on the car and left the weighted shifter rod in there. Now I need a shifter adjustment. I have no reverse and I have to get under the "reverse lock out" to get first gear. This sucks :( Thanks, Jim
