I noticed some play in the shifter. In first and third gear, I can move the shifter from side to side like it was loose. Should I go in and tighten some of the bolts down some more? Maybe the handle is loose? I have the MGW shifter.

some trannies have a bit of slop in gear but i bet the problem is porbably the tranny cup. did you pop it on the end of the mgw shifter or put it in the tranny itself. you must pop it on to the mgw shifter to make it work right.

I popped it onto the shifter then installed it. My shifter didn't have this play before. It just happened yesterday night. I'm at work so I can't take a look at it right now. I'm thinking maybe the handle is loose.
