Loose wobbly shifter after installing new shift ****

Don’t know if it’s the purpose of a new shifter but I recently installed a new mishimoto one and now my shifter feels loose and wobbly than my old tighter oem one. is that normal or did I mess something up ? Lol please don’t bash me

Did you buy a real Nissan specific shift **** with a female thread and pitch or did you buy a generic eBay with a plastic female insert that glues or deforms to the male end of the shifter?

Why would a new shifter that makes your shifting more wobbly and loose be normal?

I bought a sliver mishimoto weighted one don’t know the threads on it.Could it be because I loosen up the **** by hand therefore I messed up my shifter?

Ah, I see you bought a weighted one. Is it also tall? Then yes, you are adding more leverage and mass to your OEM shifter, so it might make it feel sloppier. I was thinking of some other kind of shift ****, round lightweight ball style.

yes it’s pretty tall and no lol I saw some on eBay but I went for a “quality one” like mishimoto.Btw random question do you have a shift **** on your car? Did you install it by turning the **** itself?
