    98 Civic LX w/ 5 speed manual trans..121,000 miles

    Car shifts fine through all gears...No shifting problems whatsoever..
    but there is a awful lot of "slop" with the gearshift when in any gear..

    Example..I can move the gearshift lever probably a good 4-6 inches from
    left to right of center while in any gear..

    Any thoughs..Maybe some kind of bushing worn ?

    Thanks..

    Have you done a drain-n-fill of the Honda MTF lately? The newer
    formulation is apparently nicer in a couple respects.
