Shifter problems
I just changed out the shifter bushings and the lower rubber boot today and filled the shifter with fluid. It shifts smoother, now that it actually has fluid, but the gear lever won't stay fully forward or backward when in gear.
for example, i'll put it into gear (any of them) and i'll be able to push the lever forwards (in 1,3,5) or backwards (2,4,r) a little bit. I assume i didn't reassemble the whole thing correctly.
does anyone have any suggestions?
also, fwiw the shifter isn't popping out of gear.

If that's the funky shaped one that wraps around to the left side, I don't see how that could affect the direction of movement you're talking about- you would just not have any resistance going to 5th and Rev, but who knows...
How tight did you bolt down the collar on top of the new bushings?
BTW- mine does the same thing ("bounces" back a little from selected gear), but I don't know exactly how much yours is doing it, so I'm hesitant to call it "normal"...
