And make sure you use the nylok nuts so it doesn't fall apart on you.

2) You've got alot of worn or broken bushings connecting the shifter linkages. I see alot of play in each of those links as the shifter is moved and wiggled. Try to find some polyurethane replacements if you want it to feel solid. This tranny model may be used in another Nissan that may have compatible aftermarket bushings so don't limit yourself to just Sentra parts. Call Energy Suspension...they have an excellent database on what they have for PU bushings and what could fit your Sentra.

Good luck!

Are these bushings at the shifter end or the transmission end? Would I have to get the entire shift linkage?
