G50 gearbox shifter loose on my "88 911 Carrera

[nomata]

Is there a detailed video or tech article that shows how to correct shifting sloppiness in the G 50 gearbox including bushing replacement, etc?

First you have to remove it from the tunnel. Then it's obvious.

Thanks so much for responding. I reviewed your initial posting [dated June of 2011] about 90 minutes ago and you described exactly what my gearbox is doing. I read through all 12 pages of posts as well as your agonies with the installation. I expect to get the "G50 Bushing Kit" on Monday. Any additional words of wisdom or specific cautions you would like to share other than what you posted? I already have some cut knuckles and bruises from the removal of the console and the electrical connections. What a hassle. Thanks again "megerian."

I installed the JWest stiffer bushing kit on my 89 and it did make a big difference.Although if i remember drilling out the fasteners for the OEM bushings was painful !

That was a few years ago ...

There is so much good advice in that thread- follow all the suggestions. The very last post that reminds you to put it in first or third gear is very important, and get a helper to force the shift rod rearward. Good luck!
