Well my clutch cableis adjusted all the way out and the pedal still realeses almost all the way out. The clutch doesn't seem to be slipping so ive been trying to baby it until spring. Well last night I just noticed that the shifter is really loose, like I can put it in gear and jiggle it around but it doesn't come out of gear and I cant feel the clutch slipping. It does this in every gear but it seem's to be shifting fine but its really loose and wobley does any one know what could of happend?

Check the bolts where the shifter stalk bolts to the shifter base. Is it a stock or aftermarket shifter?

Please don't kill me for bringing back and old thread but I am having this same issue. I have a B&M Ripper shifter and the bolts keep coming loose. They don't appear to be stripped. I can tighten them and they are fine for like a day but then they come loose again. I have been shifting real easy to make sure it's not me but this keeps happening. Any suggestions for a quick fix, don't wanna replace the shifter it's actually a nice shifter.

Thanks!
