shifter coming up... WTF
Lately I noticed it seemed like my shifter moves about a inch out of its place. Ok I know some are like wtf you talking about. So here a scenario
put your hand on the shifter say in first gear. Now sometimes it will move up, straight up. like about a half inch. I do have the HURST SHIFTER, could something maybe have come LOOSE?
Hopefully someone can tell me

Do you mean moving vertically? It looks like something is coming loose. Maybe the two small screws that hold the shifter to the floor. Remove the cover and take a look from within the car. Did you do the install yourself? Used blue loctite?

yes vertically. I didnt install it but loctite was used by my buddy. I beat on the car so i thought maybe I broke something. I guess Ill have to get it on the lift and check it out.

definitely check that out; take it from me, the voice of experience. the same thing happened when i was driving home from philly one weekend. my shifter (i have a 5.0 pro short shifter) was getting sticky and was resisting going into 1st and 2nd gears. i thought it was weird, but kept driving cuz i'm an idiot. anyway, in the middle of the ghetto the damn thing came off - yes, actually came totally loose. i nearly sh*t my pants. long story short, i took the leather and the rubber boots off, found the missing screw and re-attached the shifter. all ended well, but i did almost suffer cardiac arrest.

well the two screws that hold the shifter in place are there and tight. I was thinking it might be something to do with if attached to the tranny?
anyone else have this problem. The shifter coming straight up about a 1/4 inch? everything looks tight.

also what you mean by the bezel?

I've seen that with the B&M before, the bezel loosed up. Locktite always works.
