Default Stick Shift Question!!! PLZ READ!!!

I have a question...my buddy has a Celica GTS and when he uses his shifter it seems to like lock in place...its really cool...then he let me drive around and all the gears seemed to click in place...then i drive my 93 EG and the shifter is wobbly when its in neutral and i can never tell whether its in gear or not...the thing my buddy with the celica had, is that some type of click shifter, does anybody know the name of the thing im talking about cuz i really want one for my EG

Thanks

First of all, if you have a 94 ex coupe, and your referring to the same car...thats not an EG.
Also, my guess would be that your buddy has a teptronic shifter for his celica, just like the RSX, CL, etc. Im not sure, but that is my closest guess. Is it an automatic but then you can also make it a manual? im a little confused on what you are trying to say.

did you install an aftermarket shifter in your car?? idk if your reffering to the play in the shifter, if you missed a bushing you will have a lot of play in your shifter and its harder to tell what gear your in..

no he's reffering to how tthe bushing are. and how his shifter is mushy and his friends is crisp.

i've never driven a civic so i can't tellt he difference... but most likely it's just how the car is.. it migh be because your linkage is a little bit loose from age... that his shifter bushings might cause the car to click into gears....

All hondas will "snick" into gear. If you have a 94 car the shifter bushings are probably bad and need to be replaced. It is a nice feeling

15 dollars + energy suspension shift bushings = the shifter feel you want.

Then the linkage could be bad too.
