Hey, gang! Would love to know everyone’s thoughts on this topic.
Context: 2019 Si 6MT w/ 2020 CTR shifter unit + Acuity Stage 1 kit (shifter base bushings, spherical shifter cable bushings, upgraded centering spring), the car is not driven aggressively, and no track time.
So, I've had this set-up for almost a year, and, at the start, I loved it because everything was 'tight' in the right ways (yes, I know, the lascivious joke potential abounds ?): The forward/backward and lateral play (left/right; gate spacing & in-gear lateral play) were reduced, and pretty minimal in general.
Over time, though, everything has loosened up, somewhat noticeably, in fact. I expected this as a natural outcome of use, but not within a year. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Just recently, in fact, I inspected the shifter cable bushings while rummaging around in the engine bay, and, as far as I could tell, everything looked in fine condition. So, I'm wondering if things have loosened up at the shifter unit itself? I swear I tightened everything, though I don't recall if I Loctited the base bolts.
Thoughts/ideas welcomed! TYIA! ??
