V1 Wobble from Shifter Area of Tunnel

[askiles]

Has anyone else noticed a wobble to the tunnel area around the shifter when they shift? I am considering putting a few more screws or rivets in that area to help it stop moving. If anyone else has done something different, what have you done? Thanks!!

We used M4 screws throughout and added a few extra around the shifter area. No movement whatsoever.

Where did you find the schematic for your gauge cluster that shows what traces to cut to disable lights like ABS, traction control etc?

SliderR1 used rivnuts which seem like a good idea:

Thanks. I added a self tapping screw on each side of the shifter and it stiffened it up a ton. Nearly no movement now. It looks like the only movement is a slight bit due to the flex of the shifter mounting plate as it cantilevers out a bit, and it pretty thin.

Are you using the factory rubber mounts on the bottom of the shifter base? When I ordered my short throw shifter from ottp, I bought the solid bushings to go with it. I tried it with the original rubber mounts first and had a lot of wobble like you are describing. After installing the solid bushings, it became much more solid.

Maybe that's why we don't have an issue. I didn't even know there were rubber mounts, I believe the previous owner changed them out with the solid mounts and I just assumed that's what everyone has.
