Since I've had my car (2020), it's always had a tendency to go from first straight up to reverse when shifting. Especially when cold. I've done all bushings from the firewall back, but I still have to be very careful when shifting from first to second. Shift from first requires a push out of first to let the shifter try to center, then carefully go up to second.
I haven't made any improvements to the shifter at the cabin. Are there similar bushings or a "centering spring" or something under the shifter than can be changed? All the focus seems to be on the firewall back, but I wondered if there is anything to prevent my reverse kiss tendencies at the shifter instead (besides the shiftee - me). Thanks. |

If #2 is spent and the underside of the shifter is loaded with gunk, adding extra springs is not going to solve the grinding problem. Increasing the force required to get into 1/R simply grinds more on the contact point. Odds are parts are worn and the bottom side of the shifter and springs are a greasy gritty mess. Adding additional and stiffer springs is not the solution.
