FRS Shifter issue
So I just recently purchased an FRS with a manual transmission with 145,000 miles and noticed that it is very difficult to move the gear towards the left side to get into first gear or second gear. I would have to try multiple attempts to move it left and the easiest way to get into first gear is by going from 2nd to 1st gear when I’m able to move it left. Moving the gear lever towards the right hand side shows no problem. I can go through every single gear including reverse without an issue apart from first gear and second gear. There is also an issue where whatever gear I’m in, there is a lot of play from side to side. Granted, when I get the car driving there is no issue with the transmission itself. Anybody have these issues before? Thanks!

Many, many people ignore the need to properly adjust the top plate when installing the shift lever. The reverse lockout foot rides along a boss on the plate which is intended to center the shift mechanism in the first and second gear gates.
Look in my sig line for a link to the service manuals. Browse a little through the menu tree and you'll find the alignment procedure.

Search for the first and second gear gates while lifting the reverse lockout. If they're easy to find that way, you have your answer. Thankfully, it's all external to the transmission and easy to spruce up. Also, the adjustment is easy enough to fudge without feeler gauges. Loosen the plate and adjust it with the gearshift centered in both first and second gear gates. Just takes a gentle touch to get it right.
