There is a fair amount of play in my shifter set up,
not having the gearstick gaiter on means I can see what’s going on, there is play in the little bushes on end of the cables and in the part where the side to side ball of the shifter it’s self meats the shifter assembly..
I have a forbidden short shifter fitted but the rest of it has done over 311,000kms ... which is a lot..
Does anyone know if I can get replacement bushes from Honda or anything aftermarket?
I see that you can get uprated bushes for 5th gen but none for 4th here - https://www.twmperformance.com/bushing-kits?#b1

the fm short shifters are the biz
great piece of kit
quite unusual for 4 the gen stuff to wear out - that normally happens on the 5ths as their gear shift base is made of plastic and the 4th is metal.
have you had a look at lings website in the uk to see if parts are available? They have most stock of Honda parts in Europe.

Lings is extremely helpful as I can now see just how many of the parts are discontinued
