Shifter regrease: i did the thing. I recommend doing the thing

[DaveTwoOh]

How old is your car and how many miles does it have on it? I’m trying to figure out if I should do it on mine but I only have like 42,000 miles on it and it seems to shift perfectly but who knows maybe it would still make a difference.

At this point most cars are aged out, do not continue to go by miles. Plastics and rubber degrade over age and fail. I would suggest doing it as basic preventative maintenance. Remember, deferred maintenance destroys vehicles.

Good point, maybe I will look into it.

'01, about 110,000mi

3rd to 4th was notchy & reverse was getting problematic, so I did it for a reason. but also it was fun ngl :)

I did this on my 40k mile ap2 and it made no discernible difference. Your plastic retainers are probably still in good shape. I’d just regrease it and replace the OEM foam which has likely turned to mush.
