The "slop" I'm referring to is when the car is in gear, I can still move the shifter about 3-4" side to side.  Tried the energy suspension bushings and Steel washers in the past which helped a little but meh...  Any input as to which bushings/pieces would clean up the shifter slop the most?

[BoostedSchemes]

new shift linkages, if the shifter replacement + new bushings doesnt do the trick it means the lower linkage connection at the tranny is just beat to shit (near #12)

Sounds like the joint on the change rod is as worn out as your mother's anus.

That is unless you are a savage that used a bolt instead of a roll pin to attach the change rod to the transmission gear selector shaft.

Sir, My mother is a saint and only does the anal w/ respectable gentleman and those w/ money.

This looks interesting but retarded at the same time. Anyone know anything bout it?

I heard  that the rcautoworks thing makes a world of difference but its really expensive, and i only heard about it on dseries.org and you know those guys would be banned for saying  anything but the best about the sponsors. You could get a new bitchpin. That helped mine alot. Pr you can go the rhmt route and replace the bitchpin with a bolt and nut

wrap electrical tape around the red area.. ALOT of electrical tape to "build up" the piece so when the it meets the other metal piece there wont be any play.. idk how many layers of tape.. i forgot.. but mine shifts awesome because of this

Can of gasoline and a pack of matches, the universal cure/fix for everything.

for those here who like to weld, the joint is only $60 from Summit or Jegs.

But don't forget the rubber O-rings in the bottom of the shifter that died from exhaust heat.

Cure, new shifter with bearings in it, if that doesn't work then add the steering joint.

I plan on doing both to the CRX over the winter when it gets put into storage.

If you're a really cheap nignog, strip the chrome off a harbor freight 3/8" ratchet swivel adapter and weld it up. Cut a balloon or used condom, zip-tie it over the joint after filling with grease, profit.

Mcmaster.com has cheaper deals w/o boots if you don't mind sealing it yourself. Tape would even work.

i have a friend that makes me solid aluminum bushings for the swivel joint where it connects to the trans. completely eliminates shifter slop. anyone with a lathe can make them, i can get the measurements if youd like.

Heh.  Nice find there Bone.

I have the same problem. When I'm in 1st gear, if I push to the right, you think I'm in 5th gear.

The problem, is 5 and 6 on the diagram on the bottom of the shifter. I tried to solve the problem with new o-rings on the sleeve, but still has a lot of play...

Mine is rusted to dead tho..

[t_cel_t]

damn i just got the ES bushings and there is zero slop in my 91

[Ntrain2k]

My hero! 
I know theres a few shit stains on here such as myself that are VERY interested if you would run a batch. Any guestimates on price range. 02-05 aluminum bushing sell for between 20-40 shipped around the interwebs and theres 8 of em in a set.

i was trying to find a pic of my shit but i cant find it anywhere..
yeah i expected the electrical tape to disintegrate from the heat and for it to come apart.. but its been like a year and nothings changed still feels like the day i did it..

[Teg2boo]

The play is not cause by the red area... It would take a lot of play to move 3-4"...

You're right dog.
