Short shift problem

Post by Brainless »

Hey I just installed a custom short shift on my mx-3 and I have a little problem. On neutral, if I push the stick right or left, it stays there instead of getting back to the middle. I was told by a few people to loose the bolt the holds the bushings, so that what I did, but it didn't work (and the stick became all loose and not precise). Do you have any idea?
