I need a new shifter...
my shifter sucks, just brought home an '03 SXT and the shifter is like mash potatoes. Anybody have any thoughts on a new one, something tighter? So far Mopar seems to be the concensus....
thanks

The Mopar short throw shifter is available from Howell Automotive. This alone will not fix your problem, it's shift linkage bushings. A cheap alternative would be to simply replace those before you go putting a whole new shifter in. You can pick a set of Booger Bushings for cheap at your local car parts store. You'll end up replacing the bushings wether you replace the shifter or not, but I'd go with the bushings first before you make a purchase that isn't necessary.

Just get the bushings. They are a piece of cake to change out, and will definately make it feel better. i changed mine a few days ago, and it is night and day.. All of the play i had in the shifter is gone.
