zf sloppy shifter
I've searched but most of the sloppy shifters topics are about the mazda and the zf site wont let me see the diagram so...
what causes the shifter on the zf to be sloppy, i have aboiut 1/2" of slop in any gear.
I cant go from second to third real quick when heavy on the gas or else i end up in fifth.

just alittle more info.
The shift lever was replaced before i got the trans because it broke where the shifter bolts to the shift lever. but i got the old part so it has to be a recent replacement.
The only other thing i can think of is the shift control housing being worn.
any ideas or thoughts?

well i took it apart.
I got:
.016" between #6 & #11 (sideways movement between shifter and pivot girdle)
.014" between #11 & #7 (forward/backward movement in the housing)
.012" betweem #10 & #8 (sideways movement in the housing)
.006" between #10 & #7 (sideways movement in the housing)
I swapped #7 and #8 and got the same readings
anyone know how much #10, #7/8 cost?

7 & 8 list for 2.77 at the dealer; they are the same part, number E7TZ 7C371 A. Number 10 in your diagram lists for 86.40 and carries part number E7TZ 7203 A.

Thanks, but i was cheap today so i just made shims from thin sheet metal and added bushings into #7 & #8. Now the only slop is where the ball end of #6 goes into the trans (dont know what part it is)
