There's a noticeable improvement, but it didn't remove all of the the play in my shifter like I hoped. Nonetheless I'm happy to have done it. If I were to do it again, I'd do the rear shifter bushing, carrier bushing and trans bushing in one go, just to make life easier.

I totally forgot that I had to loosen the rear shifter bushing bolts! I'll update the post with that info.

I agree that there is still play in the shifter even with full aftermarket bushings in the carrier. I think the cause is this tiny black washer not being thick enough.



Rumor has it that getting a thicker metal washer (or possibly even the delrin ones from ace hardware) fixes the shifter rattle.
